A very nice book and everything it says it is. However, all of the designs in the book are of the type shown on the cover. I assume they have been taken from one large antique source, like a book or manual. If you don't like the style of the designs on the cover, then don't buy this. The designs are predominantly floral and all are of the style shown on the front. Also note that they are not in color.

Beautifully drawn floral designs with a creative flare, is great for use in "Zentangle" drawings. Will use these designs in many craft projects.
great for embroidery

Very useful for my simple goldwork embroidery designs. Some need enlargement and others need to remove some of the lines not needed for goldwork. Could also work with crewel embroidery although I haven't done that yet.
