Reviews for The Royal School of Needlework Book of Embroidery

[Elizabeth Hoag · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The book is probably great. The quality of the E book available here is terrible. It's impossible to read the text.

[Lynda Lumsden · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It is a lovely book but ruined by the poor reproduction. The pages appear in the middle of the page and are small. It is impossible to read the interesting bits about the history of each technique as they are both tiny and blurred. I tried enlarging the picture but it was still slightly out of focus.

Very much a classic. Particularly good at blending and shading techniques, as seen on the cover.
