Author’s note

A scholarly tome.
266 pages.
350 swatches were knitted and photographed for this book.
The contents I’ve outlined here don’t do it justice – there are many subsections.
Good for both Swiss and Japanese manufactured machines.
Black and white photographs and diagrams.

Can someone tell me where I can get a copy of this book? Or can someone scan a pdf copy to me? I would pay for that... Thanks!
