I expected much more from the maker of some of the finest crochet cotton in the world. The inside of this book is dullsville: all black and white pics (old newspaper style) most of which have been badly reprinted as many of them are not clear. There are some nice filet patterns but nothing that jumps out at you (as the French would say no "coup de coeurs"). Many of the patterns have that passé 70's look (no texture and lots of holes). You will find a much nicer collection of patterns online, most of which are free. Put the keyword "vintage crochet" in your browser and see where it takes you!

many crocheters are looking for those patterns from yesteryear. these patterns bring back that "feeling of home and security". in the back of our minds, we remenber seeing these patterns on grandma's , auntie Lou's, and our mothers couches, tables, and beds. now, it is our turn to produce the same "feelings of home" for our children and grandchildren. we forgot to ask our mothers, grandmothers, and aunts, how these beautiful pieces were made, and how sorry we are for that. but, all is not lost, we can find those beautiful patterns in this book.
