The New York Times Book Needlepoint for Left-Handers

NewNeedlepoint.com is a labor of love. I began my web store with the idea that I would build the kind of Needlepoint Web Store where I would like to shop.
I love color and I admire good design. My goal is to sell the best Needlepoint Designs, Books and Accessories I can.
I have a extensive selection of wonderful Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvases & Kits by some of today’s fine Needlepoint Designers including Danji Design, Laurel Burch, Eileen Best and many more.
NewNeedlepoint.com has a large collection of Needlepoint & Bargello Needlepoint Books. Most of the books are Hard-To-Find used books, some are quite Rare. Some of the books are maybe not so rare but are classic Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint Design or Reference Books.
I have picked out the best condition Books I could find, which is not as easy as you might think.
NewNeedlepoint has two new categories: NEW Needlepoint Books & NEW Bargello Books. These are direct from the publisher or distributor current Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint titles by some of today's well-known authors.
There are more to come.
NewNeedlepoint.com specializes in Beginner & Novice Needlepoint Kits and Books. The beginner level Needlepoint Kits are scattered everywhere in my listings as well as having their own category.
The Beginner Books do not…yet…have their own category.
NewNeedlepoint.com has an extensive selection of the excellent Patt & Lee Glicee’ Needlepoint Designs. They are all available as canvas alone plus most are also for sale assembled as a kit.
There is also my small Needlepoint Tools Category. I don’t sell anything I am not familiar with, no Drop Ship here. This is where you will find Mighty Bright lamps, Laying tools, quality Gingher Scissors, DMC or Kreinik Color Cards and more.
NewNeedlepoint.com continues to change as I work to make it as good as it can be. I hope you like what you see.

The New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left-Handers by Elaine Slater

This book is very hard to find in anything close to good condition. They all say "good condition" when you order them but what arrives is mostly awful.

I have finally managed to buy a good condition "good condition" copy of the New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left Handers.

This is an amazing book. It is by Elaine Slater, the author of the excellent New York Times Book of Needlepoint (the book that pretty much taught me to needlepoint). It is a complete and comprehensive Needlepoint Book for Left-Handers.

A nice feature of this book (and the other, right hand one) is the graphs are all done in 3 or 4 colors. The 1 or 2 highlight colors used to show the stitches on the back & white graphs make them pop out. They are much easier to understand and follow.

The New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left-Handers was published by Quadrangle/The New York Times Book Co. in 1974. It has 247 pages.

This book may be the only accessible book on needlepoint for left-handers out there. There is one other with a similar title but it does not seem to be available anywhere.

The hardcover of this book is in good condition. The inside pages are in very good condition. There is some slight yellowing, due to the book's age, around the edges of the pages. The spine is tight. A previous owner has written 9.00 in pencil on the inside title page.

There is no dust jacket with this book, given the condition of the ones I have seen, so far, I see this as no great loss.
