Edge and corner wear; scuffed and scratched; some tears along the corners and edges; spine is creased; some shelf wear; overall a very crisp and clean used copy! Green and white illustrated wrapper with green lettering. 117 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white and full-color photographs and illustrations! "There are fashions in fancy work, as in most other mutable things with which frail humanity has to deal. Change, which is the order of our being, governs our taste to a great extent. The coming fancy, as near as one can predict, is for some glow of color in decoration. White, which is in perfect taste, has been for some time universally liked for embellishing articles intended for table use, but now many of the most beautiful pieces are embroidered with colored silks which show perfect fidelity to the natural shades of the flowers depicted'." --- from "Work for Nimble Fingers.".
