Query: Even one who loves needlework books doesn't like this

I own hundreds of needlework books on just about every kind using a threaded needle. I love to read of needlework history, especially about samplers, and stitching in England. I don't do needlepoint but have stitched several projects using needlepoint designs. This book, however, does not lend itself to practical use. There are flowery, artistic portraits in the long introduction. Then the author discusses choosing patterns, stitch techniques and offers one alphabet. Then he launches into the 4 seasons with a number of designs each. They are all simple-minded and 2-dimensional. The most stunning one is the owl on the cover and that one is not as is pictured inside: the graph has the owl with a lame border, not the more interesting flurry of flowering vines on the cover. The colors are insipid pastels. I'd pass.
