I can't say that the description of the book is misleading, but more details or a preview would certainly have been helpful. This book is entirely black & white and, in some places, looks like they aren't reproductions, but that someone traced over an original. Lots of close-up details and very few full-size images. I was hoping for images I could frame, but it's not possible with this book. It's much more geared to someone doing embroidery, cross-stitch, or stencils.

I have done a workshop with Michele Hill and have become hooked on William Morris fabrics and designs. I bought this book as an indulgence to feed my passion. A beautful book.

This is one case where I did not read the reviews before purchasing, but the description is definitely not clear enough - it is indeed black and white only, and some appear to be photocopies multiple times over. The designs are outlines of drawings, meant probably for people doing crafty type activities, not for the serious student of William Morris (who was the intended recipient of this gift).

Very little to share. Just many piks one could copy and try to reproduce in a quilt.
