This book was released in 2002. Hardcover and 176 pages. This is one of my FAVORITE sampler resource books, and whether you know a lot or a little about antique samplers, this book is easy to read, and has a ton of full-color, crystal clear photographs along with commentary, history, and information about how samplers are valued. Why is one sampler that is similar to another worth more? Well, this book will teach you! Super fun to look at. And out of print. I get them when I can. All are previously owned.
