Dover Publishing is known for excellent books like this, a niche book to be sure but they find them and publish (or re-publish) them. Otherwise books like this would be lost. Modern Monograms has 1310 Graphic Designs for Monograms. Here, monograms are defined as "two or more letters interwoven in artistic harmony. Most, if not all, of the design are are based on 2 letters. The monograms are arranged alphabetically, each letter of the alphabet is combined with every other letter.

There has been an amazing response to my article on B. Borssuck's Alphabet & Monogram books in Needlepoint Now magazine.
Almost all the orders I recieved were for both books.
I am completely sold out of 97 Alphabets for Needlepoint and can't find any more copies at any kind of reasonable price (as in under $80.00 my cost). This has happened to me before, I buy so many copies of a particular out-of-print book that I create the rarity and the prices skyrocket.
I do have a number of copie...
Carol Belanger Grafton is a familiar name, she has edited several other books of this kind. I stopped counting at 13 titles, there were more. I carry some of her's fine compilations here in both my New Monogram and Alphabets category as well as several of her used books. When I saw this title I could not resist and I am glad I did not. This is truly a unique collection of Monograms and Alphabets. There are all different sizes and styles here but I want to show you a close up of just one of many...
The subtitle for this interesting book is:
120 Contemporary Designs Fort Cross Stitch and Needlepoint.
So many of the current Alphabet books are based on historic designs andf lettering, it is nice to see a book with a more miodern take. Plus, numbers are very rare among these books. You wouldn't think this was so but it is.
Stitch Alphabets and Numbers begins with some basics, materials needed, basic designs and how to approach it all.
The alphabets in this book are truly unique. I b...
This is an interesting book, the Monograms & Ciphers shown are all originals, designed & drawn by the author, A.A. Turbayne and other members of the Carlton Studio. I had never heard of The Carlton Studio so I did a search for it. Several possibilities came back from the search. There is a Carlton College of Art in Minnesota. There is also Carlton Studio, associated TV in Nottingham our The Carlton Studio Winery, Wine Club etc. Then again, the original book was 1906 so it could be anyplace or...
I am a fan of B. Borssuck books in general. 3 of my recent articles for Needlepoint Now magazine have been on B.'s books. This is her excellent letters (and numbers, it is very hard to find stitchery books with numbers as well as letters in them). The other big plus here is that this book is designed and charted for needlepoint. Most are embroidery or cross-stitch and have to be slightly adapted for needlepoint.
Each Alphabet or Number in this book is graphed full size, so the graphs ca...

79 Decorative Alphabets For Designers and Craftspeople is a very good collection of letter styles, they range all the way across the spectrum, from plain to very fancy, from small to large. There is even a set of Numbers on page 95. why just one set of numbers is beyond me, makes no sense does it? Carol Belanger Grafton is a very well-knoiwn name as editor of books of this type. She consulted with Rita Weiss, another experienced & well-known needlework writer and editor on the final selection f...
This has become, in the years I have been selling rare/used books here, a Very Rare book. It is unusual for more reasons than it's rarity, however. This is a 8 X 10 inch stiff paper bound book originally from Charles Scribner's & Sons, it was published in 1978. I can't see that the date matters much, nothing really changes about stitching letters & numbers on canvas, not really. Plus this book one of the few Monogram and Letters Books I know of that has numbers too (one of them just has 1 se...
This is a *special advance copy* of Carolyn Ambuter's book. It is from Carol Korman's collection of books, she was sent an advance copy to review before publication.
There is some interesting information here, printed on the plain cover. This is stuff that a regular copy of any book does not, generally, have.

With three authors, the book's info did not fit in my "title space". It is: A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Jack Bodi, Meg Merrill and Catherine di Montezemolo. Meg Merrill's name is the most familiar, she is the co-author of Nature in Needlepoint with Eva Brent. This is a wonderful book, full of garden or flower based designs. In the last few years Kaffe Fassett has done a series of Needlepoint Kits for Erhman Tapestry based on Garden Vegetables, in close-up. There are a few designs si...
