Embroidered Book Covers
The is a website called abebooks.com, they sell new and used books and occasionally have articles related to books. I saw one yesterday that featured embroidered book covers. Actual covers, not jackets. I don't know how to send a link to this so maybe you can search for it with the url. They were amazing and pretty costly. Fun to look at.

You're welcome. Although, I can't take credit for finding it. It took hubby's superior computing skills (at least superior to mine ). He found it in about 30 seconds after I'd spent about 10 minutes trying to find it . Just glad we could help. It was really a fun thing to see.carolanne wrote: OOH, mechie, that's amazing. Thanks.
