Oh it's so much more than patterns from old clothes. The photo section that iws half the book is, like the other JA books, a vast amount of information about how they actually made these clothes: close ups and details that, in many cases, you have never seen (and in some cases, thought of) before. If that kind of information is of interest to you, as it is to me, then seeing the pattern shapes derived from the actual garments is just frosting.
