[HNW] A Pictorial History of Embroidery

[Lavolta Press]

I should add, while I'm at it, that whether the friends you stole copies 
to give to say they intend to buy the book now that it's being 
reprinted--somehow I manage to have a library of several thousand books 
on costuming without having stolen any of them, BTW--has absolutely no 
bearing on whether copyright theft damages the publishing industry as a 
whole. I've worked in the publishing industry for over 23 years.  I 
dount you have.  It does.
