Customer Reviews

Great range but a little disappointing

This book has a great range of alphabet lettters, but unfortunately many are small and did not enlarge very well for my purpose, which was embroidery. It was published in 1974, so the transfer instructions are very out of date - there are much better methods now. I'm sure there would be more modern books which are better for embroidery monograms.

Fun Book

There are tons of pages on just about anything that one could imagine for about any type of art project. The pictures are clear and copy well. Good black and white line drawings. Also good for scrapbook pages as the art is very nice. The photos can also be used to make a coloring book for older children.
