Hardback with dust jacket. The book is Used Very Good: The pink boards are still bright and tight and the pages are clean. Inside a piece of graph paper with patterns drawn in has been glued to the front endpaper. There is also a name plate glued to the opposite endpaper. The dust jacket is Used Fair as there is a long tear (11 cms ) down the spine and wear to the edges. Overall Used Good. The price reflects this. Very clear diagrams and illustrations: Starting a Project, The Patterns, Sources of Design, Colour in Blackwork, Blackwork patterns in Free-Form Shapes, The Designs.
