This is a lovely book. The many pictures and descriptions are very helpful in becoming informed about these treasures. The only negative for me is that there were no guidelines regarding value. As a novice I would have benefited by getting a ballpark idea of value when purchasing.Antique Needlework Tools and Embroideries

I picked this book up because I am often in antique stores and notice the odd little 'this and thats' but sometimes cannot figure out what the 'this and that' was supposed to do. Well, this book answers those questions quite nicely and the photos are simply beautiful. If you are not an antique shopper to begin with, I suspect that this book will inspire you to get into the car and drive to the nearest antique mall to see if you can located any of these delightful little tresures in real life! Even if you never set foot in an antique store, this book will delight you with the photos and history of needlework tools. Beautiful book and well worth the money.

I kept seeing this book referred to on ebay so I ordered and am really glad I did! The photos and information are priceless for anyone who collects antique sewing tools.

The book was used but in new book condition. It is the definitive book for antique sewing tools collecting. It is great and I learned a lot from it.
