Thanks for your congrats, ladies! Makes me enjoy it even more!
Some of the pattern cards have been cut out, but they are kept in a little pocket in the back of the book. I love the idea that my aunt's aunt (that's where the book originally came from) made the dresses and wore them. I wonder if I see one in an old photograph one day...
I had an offer for a pdf as well. But since it's for a different edition (1954) I'm not so sure about the printing. If you print it a 10th of an inch too small or too big, the pattern will be useless. And the different editions aren't in the exact same size as I noticed now that I have two editions (they differ a few millimeters).
So, a pdf (or any other scanned format) only makes sense if you have very accurate printing instructions. The best would be if there is a measure on the scan itself.
