Written by a New York designer and a leading authority on needlecraft, this is a later printing of one of the key books on the subject during the '40s. Now out of print. 310 pages, 14 chapters and 30 illustrations in this comprehensive book. Laid in are additional materials: "The Art of Knitting", a 16-page booklet, and two small instructive brochures on crocheting, "Tintoretto's Pillbox" and "Rembrandt's Beret". This copy has three lightly bumped cover corners and lightly toned pages; the binding is tight, no writing, markings or creases noted. The jacket has some small edge chipping, modest tearing and some creasing near the edges; otherwise, a very decent dj.
