My review, originally posted on Amazon:

Written in an era when women routinely clothed the family with their own creations, this is an excellent reference for intermediate to advanced dressmaking techniques. The line art is present on most pages, providing clear illustration of the author's instructions. A bonus is that it seems to have been printed on higher quality paper than most paperbacks of the same era; my copy is still bright clean white inside, instead of the browned pages one might expect in a book from the 1940's.

I would like to be able to reinforce or protect the cardstock cover, and that is my only complaint about the whole book. If this was ever printed in hardcover, I'd like to get a copy. ( )
