Yep, that's the one I would have recommended, too. Not a bad little book.
Good clear and large pictures for those of us with a visual nature and the
patterns aren't too hard to figure out and scale up. I also like the idea of
showing the various sleeve styles and trim patterns for the styles.
Definitely not an Art/ Sci reference but handy none the less.
