I, too, could not find it at Amazon.com (the USA site), but I did a
web search and found it at two UK bookshops. Here's one of
them: http://www.countrybookshop.co.uk/books/index.phtml?whatfor=1861084765
Looks like it is not officially published until Monday, Feb. 27, so
that may be why it's not listed in the USA Amazon site.
That's the book. I was browsing sewing related book on Amazon and it
popped up, so I pre-ordered, and it turned up in the post this
morning. I have only taught a corset class today - the rest of the
time has been spent studying the book - well that's work ain't it?
After reading your post I went to Amazon and typed in the title. I
got a bunch of stuff but nothing on embroidery. Then I tried Gail
Marsh and got more stuff but nothing on embroidery. How did you
find the book? It sounds wonderful.
Lalah, Never give up, Never surrender
I have just received the most wonderful book from Amazon. "18th
Century Embroidery Techniques" by Gail Marsh, (ISBN 1 86108 476 5)
and am drooling as I type.
The pictures are clear, and there are diagrams. It includes silk
embroidery, metal thread and spangles, whitework, quilting, tambour
and chain, crewel and novelty threads,Hollie Point and knotting!!
