I'm not certain of the actual publishing date of this book. It states "1936", research shows it most likely is, there's no ISBN, but the pages are crisp, clean and not yellowed. It looks newer.
From the flaps:
"Mary Thomas's Embroidery Book is a practical guide to the manifold uses of embroidery's many stitches. It shows clearly and concisely how to combine stitches into patterns and designs for all types of embroidery - from Initials and Monograms, Patchwork, Samplers, Quilting and Smocking through Petit Point, Tapestry, Applique, ets.
"The chapter "Technical and Miscellaneous Hints" which foresees and solves any problems that may arise, will be a boon to all needleworkers.
"305 stitches - all different, all clearly and concisely explained.
305 diagrams - showing plainly and in detail how each stitch is worked.
In alphabetical order. (With every known alternative name of every stitch also listed.)
An Index of Uses for each stitch.
For the advanced needleworker - an essential reference book."
