Book Reviews of White Work: Techniques and 188 Designs (Dover Needlework Series)
Book Review: Not Too Bad
Summary: 4 Stars
This books has good illustrations of the stitches used, and many good designs, though I was hoping to find more information about the history of the designs. I'm using them predominantly for Civil War reenacting, and wanted my embroidery to be authentic. The price was good -- as is true of most Dover publications, so I think this was well worth the price I paid, if not more so.
This would be a good book for beginners, especially if one looks at it as an open-ended guide that allows for individual creativity and use of colored threads.
