I bought a used "Bargello" book from Amazon. The listing indicated it was "As good as new" or something like that.
When it arrived I checked and it looked new and had a pull out in the back.
I read through the book and decided on the project I wanted to do first. Rhapsody. Bought my fabrics, created my strata. Then I went to the next section of instructions...which included 'refer to the pull out'.
This is the silly part for me - the only pull out was NOT for the Rhapsody it was for Fire Flies. There is no other pull out.
So there I sat with this in-progress project and no clear instructions for completion.
I have now resorted to looking at the photo with a magnifying glass to determine HOW to put together the strips.
I have spent hours on this and I am half finished. It may not look exactly like the original, but I'm giving it a good try!
Not sure I will ever purchase another 'used' pattern book without touching it first!

that's a shame. did you ask the seller to provide it. if it was advertised as 'like new', then all the parts should be there. advise the seller that you need it so that you don't have to put negative feedback online about the transaction
