It\u2019s a substantial paperback: neat layout, enticing photographs, clear typography, copious step-by-step diagrams and charts. If I had to sum up the contents in one word, it would be \u2018thorough\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s one of the most in-depth single-subject embroidery books that I have seen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can read the rest on <a href=\"https:\/\/suetortoise.wordpress.com\/2016\/07\/02\/hardanger-embroidery-back-to-the-fjords-via-sydney\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sue&#8217;s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Nicola and Sue for your very generous reviews.
