3.0 out of 5 stars Japanese Border Designs, May 16, 2000
By A Customer
The book contains 6 sample borders per page in black and white. The samples are small but clear. Some of them seemed cut off to fit the standard size so they did not look like they could be used as a repeatable pattern. A few seemed cut off on the top and bottom as well. I don't know if that is how they are normally done or again that was to fit the standard size in the book. This was a little disappointing. There are a few full sized designs in the back. There isn't any text explaining the designs, where they come from, where they were commonly used, or anything about traditional colors.

2.0 out of 5 stars Low quality, August 6, 2007
By mm (USA) - See all my reviews
I was very disappointed in the quality of the book and illustrations. The designs, while nice, are not sharp/crisp on the edges. The borders are imprecise and irregular, perhaps due to low quality printing technique, or perhaps because the renderings are poor. Either way I find this book unusable for my needs. If you are hoping for a source book of stylized images with clean lines, this is *not* it.
