Information about the reproductions:

Each page of every book has been digitally scanned and then retouched to remove stains, tears, and staple holes. 

Printed booklets are printed on high quality extra bright white acid-free paper and are bound with clear plastic covers and a comb binding.  This allows the book to lay the open book flat while working the patterns.  Pages that are in color in the original are printed in color.  Book page size is 8 1/2 x 11.

CD-Rom file is in Acrobat Reader PDF format.  I am a licensed distributor of Adobe Acrobat Reader Software and the latest version is included on the CD.  Each time you want to use a pattern you can print out a new page or pages as you need them.  Each CD comes in a protective case with a full color label.  All CDs have a lifetime guarantee - if a CD ever has a problem send it back to me for a replacement.  All scans are invisibly digitally watermarked and the PDF files are locked against editing and copying.

Downloaded file is in the same Acrobat Reader PDF format as on the CDs. 

Every one of the reproductions are of an original in my personal collection.  The original publication has lost its original copyright and is now in the public domain.  However, all of the scans found within each book or PDF file belong to Jacqueline Smith and may not be reproduced without permission.  Copyright 2001-2007.

The books, CDs, PDF files and their contents are for the sole intended use of the original buyer.
