SUMMARY- This is the only booklet printed of this series that I have found a copyright date in. Despite prior issues having been published by E.C. Spuehler, all four previous issues are advertised on the inside back cover. I have no idea what relation the Jacob Frank Mercantile Company has with E.C. Spuehler publishing. Unlike most of the E.C. Spuehler publications, there are no other booklets advertised other than the prior four Louise Nacke booklets. Using the list of books advertised on the E.C. Spuehler issues, I should be able to better target their publication dates now that I have one solid clue to triangulate from...
You get more instructions in this book than you got from Book 3("Crocheted Edgings and Insertions"), but you are still expected to get almost all your cues from the photos of the samples. I think you'd have to be a very experienced crocheter to succeed in this. I'm not saying it can't be done. I know tatters can reverse engineer patterns from samples relatively easily. My guess is that it's harder to do with crochet because of the more dense fabric being constructed. If you're looking for a retro bag to make, I'd give this issue a miss unless you are a wizard with your crochet hook. It was still fun to look through.
