18th Century Embroidery Techniques Book

I was a little disappointed at first, because there was not as much about the embroiderers as the first book I read, like this, of Gail Marsh. But I came to my senses and realised there is probably not so much available as there would be for "Embroiders of the 20th Century" and that a book about those from the 18th century will be, perhaps, less interesting than those mentioned in the other book. But I realised my error, and re-read: because there are embroiderers named, and works shown with sample to try out myself. Then I enjoyed it far more, and I also realised that I was maybe looking for the author to share her research findings in a far deeper way than would interest (perhaps) the public as large. So 4 stars are easily earned, and I hope to read it again in another year and make a study of it along with the other two.
