Book is Good in Good dust jacket. Soft Cover binding, First Edition,
Editions Th. de Dillmont, Mulhouse, France, A virtually complete boxed original edition. The main book is accompanied by the colection of templates in a paper sleeve, and both are inside the original brown cardboard box with paper title label. The box is edgeworn but not splitting or stained, quite OK, the book has coverwear and creases, consistent with a great deal of careful use. The interior is clean and tidy and sound. The patterns I have collated, to discover all present, except that two have a section missing. Each pattern is printed on buff paper, folded into three sections, some with punched holes. Patterns 13/14 (two in one sheet) and 31/32 (likewise), have the end section missing, they are only two thirds complete. A little study shows that these are endless repeat patterns, al the required information is contained in the two remaining leaves, and it would be a simple matter to photocopy the leaves and cut out replacement sections for the missing pieces on matching paper if desired. Some of the other stencils have pencil annotations and minor wear, but most are in pristine condition. The slipcase is thin paper, and although worn, is not split, which is doing pretty well we think, given the difficulty of replacing the patterns each time, which only just fit. Oh - and of course the text is in French. Book 184pp + 8 photo plates + adverts. Patterns 1 - 55 and 31a - 55a present as called for, except for two missing leaves as noted above, in paper sleeve, All in stiff closing box.
