SUMMARY- Tatting instructions are fairly brief in this one, with just a few illustrations - not particularly helpful to the new tatter in the age of YouTube videos. The patterns are all pretty traditional fare - straightforward and good to practice with. They kept the short introduction to Armenian needlepoint lace in the revised manual, which you don't run across that often. It wasn't advertised as a selling point on the cover.
