The smaller book still works well

I am still using the smaller version of this book that I bought from the U.K. It is only smaller in diameter there are over 200 pages. The pictures are glossy color. With full descriptions and diagrams in the embroidery stitching vernacular. The chapters or pages are sorted by the different types of stitches. If you are just casually interested there is a great introductory with history and descriptions of what make Hardangar embroidery unique. "Hardangar embroidery takes its name from the area surrounding the Hardangar fiord in western Norway."
