This book was an interesting read, but I'm not certain I'd read it again.

It was written in the late 1960s and it is interesting how some of the comments about the loss of old crafts are still relevant 40 years later. It is really a collection of anecdotes about how the various crafts took place, rather than an instructional book.

I wondered if anyone else would like to have it. Maybe if you get it and feel the same way after you've read it then you could pass it on to someone else?

If you want to PM me, I'll happily send it on.
