    SUMMARY- The Table of Contents are pretty bare compared to the actual contents of the book. There's some really exquisite work in this one - by all six designers represented in its pages. I would compare the edging collection up there with Mary Konior's best work - I'm not kidding. If you like edgings, this is a collection not to miss. There are motifs here I find elegant and unusual as well. The photography is beautiful, but doesn't have the clarity I normally associate with the Japanese craft books - still good enough to take a guess at if you find the diagrams unclear. I'm going to break down what patterns belong to each of the six designers. Maybe someone can contact me and fill in the names for us?
