Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-04 00:00:00 Kim Costantini I bought this and then I was like, "why did you buy this, do you really want to read a whole book about embroidery?" But it's actually a surprisingly quick read and very accessible for people who don't embroider, although I think those who are skilled will gain even more from it. Loads of illustrations to explain what Marsh is talking about and very helpful as a reference for historical fiction writers.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-28 00:00:00 Frank Ryan 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.
