This review is from: 500 Alphabets in Cross Stitch (Hardcover)

I was not impressed when I bought this book as it actually does not contain 500 Alphabets, in fact there are about 90. There are some numbers from 0-9, not enought to make up the other 410 designs though (and a set of numbers is not an alphabet). I know that Julie Hasler has done a series of '500' books, but the title clearly states that there are *500* Alphabets in Cross Stitch. Apart from the small fact that there are 400-odd missing it's not a bad book. I think this is a breach of the Fair Trading Act, the commerce commission should do these people! If anyone can explain how 90 and 500 are related, I'd love to know!
