pattern books

[Tawnya]

Are these books?

Today I came across a plastic canvas book. For those unfamiliar think embroidery or counted cross-stitch. I myself have dozens in storge. I doubt mine have an ISBN (at least the smaller ones, the larger ones are 50 pages), but since they are in storage I cannot look. The same argument could be used for sewing pattern books.

I would probably consider them valid additions to the GR catalog. People refer to them like they would atlases and sheet music, which are both valid according to the Librarian manual.

That being said, I wouldn't go out of my way to fulfill an add request for them, especially if they lacked an author or ISBN.
