Netley, Wakefield Press and the Embroiderers' Guild of South Australia, 1986. Quarto, 95 pages with nearly 100 illustrations (many in colour). Full maroon calf with an original embroidered design (126 × 96 mm) inset in the front cover; a few light indentations and a tiny scrape to the front cover; commercial bookplate on the verso of the front flyleaf; an excellent copy with a Mylar dustwrapper. One of only 100 specially bound copies, featuring one of eight different embroidery designs (copies of details of a seventeenth century British hanging panel with Biblical scenes, illustrated in full on the endpapers). Two 'Festival of Embroidery' cards are loosely inserted; one is signed by the author, the other gives details of the cover design and attributes this particular piece of work to local Guild member Alice Bosch.
