You’re sure to love it!this book's 120 pages are packed with black and white photos, descriptions, instructions and patterns. There are some great vintage advertisements, too! you’ve got to see this book to believe it.this digital vintage book has been enlarged to a full 8½" x 11" – much easier to read than the original 7¾" x 9¾" printed in 1895. The pictures are much clearer and larger, too! this is a great help when trying to follow the instructions. The original book’s print size is so small that it is very hard on your eyes and it is easy to miss a step in almost any project you try. Now with the larger format, you can read and follow the directions with ease.and… because you can print out the project you are working on, you won’t have to fight keeping a book open to the desired page. Nothing drives me nuts faster than trying to work on a project and the page keeps flipping or the book won’t stay open. I’m sure you know what i mean. No more propping a book open with whatever you can find to keep it at the page you need! your printout can be placed just about anywhere for easy reading. these features alone make this digital book so much easier to use than a conventional book.

Now there is a table of contents plus an index (something not found in the original) to help you find just what you are looking for. This book is not just a scan of the original pages. With scanned copies, when you enlarge the page to make it easier to read or see a picture more clearly, the print gets blurry and you are unable to read it. With this e-book you will find this is not an issue. It has been re-typeset (except for the advertisements) in larger type to produce top-notch clarity for ease of reading. All the pictures have been scanned, enlarged and meticulously digitally remastered so you can see as much detail as possible.
