Hi Gail,
I do the same thing. If a site goes to Acrobat, I shut it down. I gave the

I live near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Does anyone in that area have this book
so I can borrow it. I can't afford to buy one. Please contact me if you'd be

right color for me and them had to choose the pattern. It was a hard
decision. I wanted them all. I bought the garnet and gold Fleur-de-lis

Thanks for that long and detailed explanation. It makes perfect sense that,
if your user's primary goal is to get an idea of what the clothes and trims
looked like, you would fix up the old engravings rather than redraw them.
It's just a different emphasis. I know only a little bit about

I got a dressmaker's dummy for Christmas (WooHoo!) It's a Uniquely You

If so, there should be a college library in Lancaster that
has it - Franklin Marshall College in the Shadek-Fackenthal Library.
