SUMMARY- I was very excited to run across an original edition of this in beautiful condition. It is no longer under copyright and Iva Rose Reproductions doesn't have it, so I'll be producing a pdf of it to make available. I was terribly disappointed that the monogram on the cover isn't a pattern in the book. Most of the patterns are edgings, and almost all of them are combined with novelty braids that were available for sale at the time. Rick rack is used in a few of the patterns. Coronation cord is not - but they did put out a separate book combining coronation cord and crochet.
I have a second edition, but there was an expanded 3rd edition put out the next year - clearly the book was a success. There is a free pdf of the 3rd edition available here for download. If you have the third edition, you have everything that was in the 2nd edition:
