Complete Guide to Embroidery Stitches by Readers Digest
The book is small at 6.5″ x 8.5″ and is a hardcover. It has normal binding, but pages stay open quite well. There are 2 stitches per page (embroidery and canvas stitches are provided).
The stitched sample photos are all in color, the diagrams are in color, and the stitching order is provided. But, each stitch has verbal descriptions that somehow seem tedious. Although, if the stitch was new to me or difficult, the text would probably be useful.
