SUMMARY- There are relatively few tatting patterns in her first effort. They are pretty traditional and simple. The patterns are extremely difficult to read(white print on black background!) with very small print. Books 1 and 2 are crochet and tatting patterns combined with the majority being crochet. Book 4 is crochet work for lingerie and linens. The publisher is bad about putting copyright years on his publications, so the 1915 publication date is a guestimate based on the price of the book.
