I originally checked this book out of the library - I fell in love with it despite it's limitations and ordered my own copy. The photo's are old and grainy and almost all b/w. It's still great - it shows entire wall patterns and even entire walls. Most designs photocopy acceptably enough for enlargement for you to duplicate. Covers walls, floors, furniture and theorems, including photos of actual stencils used by William Eaton.
