Embroidery reference book, hard copy recommendation request

[kaylarudbek]

So the Tour of Ireland shawl has an accompanying embroidery kit, and I started working on that. I now understand why Salty Yarns out in Ocean City MD (my favorite yarn store when I travel there) has a lot of needlework kits as well as the yarn. I want to find a reference book (about the size of a paperback book) of embroidery stitches for when I’m sitting on the beach working on a project. So I want something small and lightweight, and in a price range where I won’t have to flip out if the book gets sunscreen on the pages…

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I couldn’t find that exact pamphlet on Amazon or ThriftBooks, but I was able to find something similar, I think. Embroidery Tips & Hints by Harold Hayes, and then this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1935726595/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 a carry-along reference guide which is exactly what I was looking for
