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

[Kathryn Newell]

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

Ack--that book has accelerated in price since I started looking a few months 
ago!

< The cheap shipping from Europe comes by boat, or at least it used to ...>

I've ordered books Sea Mail years and years ago from the U.K. This  merchant 
(in Germany) is charging  me $30.00(just went up $10 because they wrote it 
was a heavy book).

< In a couple of weeks you should know. (But it looks like it)>

Um, try a couple of *months*!!!

and

< Sounds like the right book.>

Whew!!! When I saw it was $137.00 I realized it was the cheapest I had seen 
it when I first started looking a few months ago. It was their *only* copy, 
so it seems you have to be at the right place at the right time....
