There is a large amount of material, including several pattern books, from
Parcs Canada; they also have a comprehensive catalog. Do they have a web
site? If they do, I would appreciate learning of its address.
Also, some years ago (1960s, 1970s) Dover reprinted several books from the
first half of the 20th century that covered transfer print patterns,
especially those with historical and landscape motifs, both American and
British. Those books (the Dover reprints) are probably no longer in print,
but might be found in a very good used book store, or from some of the used
books sites on the net, such as:
www.abebooks.com
www.bibliofind.com
www.interloc.com
