NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.

NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.

There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.

My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.

I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.

I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.

The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.

I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’ needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.

I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.

I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.

I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.

Faber Birren's other book, Principles of Color, has been a surprising success here on NewNeedlepoint.com. In that listing I describe it as a basic book on Color Theory and more.

This book was written later then Principles of Color. The sub-title for Color & Human Response is:" Aspects of Light and Color Bearing on the Reactions of Living Things and the Welfare of Human Beings". Well, that is quite a sub-title.

To quote the back cover of the book " Faber Birren pioneered in the field of functional color, using color properties to promote human welfare psychologically, visually and physiologically.

Color & Human Response offers intriguing factual and hypothetical observations on the influences of color in life, supported by historical reference and the latest scientific data.

Birren explores the biological, visual, emotional, aesthetic and psychic responses to color"

"Complete with drawings, color photographs and a chapter on the personal meaning of color preferences."

While I am unable to stop myself from wondering if maybe this book will teach you how the color used in your needlepoint pillows can improve your health and make you happier in life, I admit to being intrigued by & interested in this book.

The chapters are:
The Historical Background
Biological Response
Visual Response
Emotional Response
Aesthetic Response
Psychic Response
To Heal The Body
To Calm The Mind
Personal Color Preferences.

oddly enough, most of the pictures in this book are black & white, with one section of full color pictures. This appears to be an unusual book, to say the least.

I clearly had no idea how deep I was getting when I ordered it.

Published in both Canada & the USA in 1978 by John Wiley & Sons, this is a glossy cover paperbound book with 139 pages.

Selling New Books is very different from selling my used, hard-to-find or rare books. New books have a set retail price and I have to compete in the “marketplace”.

NewNeedlepoint.com will be charging the full retail price for these fine new books but I will mail them for free. Please consider the Free Shipping as a Discount.
