Re: [h-cost] Schuette was RE: question re: floss silks for embroidery
OUCH!!! Many years ago, a friend asked me to check it out for her, so I found it via ILL through a library that didn't haven't it in the reference section. However, having severe unchecked RA at the time, there was no bloody way I could carry the thing and it didn't fit in my backpack. I called her boyfriend who was a taxi driver and requested book escort service. He came and got me, in a state of disbelief UNTIL he saw the book. And I got a free ride home for my trouble. ;) Arlys > I don't know about two strong men, but the last time I took the pair > > of volumes out of the library I decided to save my bad back by > carrying it balanced on my head ... and ended up getting a pinched > cervical nerve that ended up sending me to the emergency room in > extreme pain.

I don't know about two strong men, but the last time I took the pair of volumes out of the library I decided to save my bad back by carrying it balanced on my head ... and ended up getting a pinched cervical nerve that ended up sending me to the emergency room in extreme pain.

Quoting Beth and Bob Matney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Which is the 336pp., 11.5 x 8.5. (29 colour plates and 463 in b/w). Praeger 1964 edition? I think that's the one that she's referring to as "the little one." It's the only one that I've ever heard of. And if you "can't bear" to spend $300 for a copy, there's a copy on eBay for $500!

The Schuette at the library takes two strong men to carry, so Wanda's is the one you speak of?

I think the two volume tombstone size books came out in about 1929. Some of the items shown in those books no longer exist thanks to the Big war that swept across Europe a few years later.
