Review:
A beautiful Christmas issue from a major craft publisher. The St. Nicholas portrait on the cover is a classic, elegant design, representative of the traditional, slightly Victorian style of holiday decor popular in the late 1980s.
Author summary:
Leisure Arts is one of America's largest publishers of instructional craft content. Their magazine, books, and leaflets were a primary source for holiday and seasonal patterns for millions of crafters during the 1980s and 90s.
The collectible value is low. Leisure Arts magazines are common and not rare. Its value is for the specific patterns and its historical interest as a snapshot of late-80s traditional Christmas craft trends.
