A Pictorial History of Embroidery
Schuette, Marie and Müller-Christensen, Sigrid
Frederick A. Praeger, New York, 1964
Out of print & between $250-$500 but worth every penney. Good close-ups of the stitches. Not too many color photos but excellent B&W ones. Good descriptions and stitch diagrams. Good documentation & research of historical pieces. IB
Note that this book was printed several times in different countries with slightly different titles. SB
