This slim volume has a lot of projects, a wide variety of techniques and very little editorial. If you're looking for clear instruction about some fairly obscure needlework you'll find a start here.
While all projects are made up in white, I wouldn't consider some of them whitework. I was hoping for more editorial and focus on fewer styles.
Also, I feel that some of the projects are not easy enough for someone without a beginners knowledge of embroidery already.
