Summary: A good reference
Comment: Many dim and fuzzy pictures, but a lovely historical needleworkers reference. Worth having in your library, and a good inspirational boost. I wouldn't consider it a pleasure read, or a quality how-to, but something in between, and wothwhile nonetheless.
Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent treatment of the subject
Comment: I admit it. I'm scared of blackwork. But this book makes it seem not quite so intimidating. Lots of examples of it are included, in numerous b/w illustrations and photos of extant Tudor/Elizabethan work (there's modern stuff, too, but I'm not as interested in that). There are also instructions for doing blackwork, though the explanations are a bit hard to follow in places. Overall, this is the best treatment of the subject I've seen yet. As an acquaintance of mine has said, while it's still in print, get it! Or you may find yourself hunting for it when it's gone.
I seriously don't know /any/ blackworkers who don't have this book.

Summary: Not really a review, just a msg....
Comment: This hasn't got anything to do with Mary's book, but i figured some authors would read the reviews, and i thought that i would leave this message. Just to say that i am a Gostelow aswell :) (from Australia)
