"For those who do cross stitch, or would like to try, this book is like a combination of needlecraft and travelogue. The 30 projects cover some of America's most popular landmarks, including the Washington Monument, the iconic Route 66 sign, and my own local favorite, Mount Rainer. Each landmark project includes photographs, facts and figures, and, of course, the actual cross stitch pattern. You'll stitch your way across the USA with this one. "-- Amazon Book Review
