Hello Barbara, Could plesae you answer on my private account and tell me about the address of the lady who sells this book in France please? I am French and would be very much interested in getting this book: I am fascinated by all sorts of docs about textiles in peasant art, and this is part of our history ;-)
I thank you in advance for your help!
