[HNW] is this "A Pictorial History of Embroidery"???

[Carol Thomas]

Amazon has a copy for $350, listed as "Das Stickereiwerk (Pictorial 
History of Embroidery) by Schuette and Muller-Christiensen".

I do believe you're fine!

The cheap shipping from Europe comes by boat, or at least it used to 
when the exchange rate was better and I used to bring in Austrian 
illuminated manuscript books.
