Nice full-color book about embroidery, knitting and crochet

This is a big, beautiful book full of full color photographs with close-up details. It has a great table of contents that clearly outlines the contents of the book. Unfortunately, there is no index. This book has information about embroidery, knitting and crochet.My main area of interest is in embroidery. The embroidery section includes basic information about fabric and fiber selection and how to reproduce designs. It then goes into information and instruction on specific stitches. It has more information about surface and crewel embroidery than counted thread techniques.This is an absolutely gorgeous book. Even though it is an "older"book, the photos do not seem "dated." The works are timeless. The photography is wonderful, with good, clear close-up shots. The beading and metallic photos appear to shine. The book is printed on good heavy paper stock, and is quite substantial.The crochet and knitting sections are equally well-photographed, with clear close-up images. Directions are written in a "how to" paragraph style.
