SUMMARY- There are a generous number of patterns in this booklet with written notation in paragraphs. Anne Orr was a very talented designer, and has been republished in a lot of different places. She self-published a book the same year of this publication. I compared this publication to the others of Ms. Orr's I had on hand, and the designs are not a republication - they were new at the time of publication. I found it interesting that she was well known enough that both Coats & Clark and American Thread Co. felt it was worthwhile to acknowledge the designer on the cover of the booklets they published of her work. Both companies are notorious for not acknowledging their designers. I was really pleased to add this book to my Anne Orr collection.

I've only found five American Thread books of this series - I have no idea if that is all of them or not.
