Carol Phillipson's book
Cross-stitch designs from CHINA is rich and informative book. It is published on 2001 and is very likely available at second hand. The Chinese designs are not exactly on my taste but I still have it. If you seek designs about dragons, this books has few of them. As it has designs for example of birds, flowers, butterflies and humans. It has even a thread conversion chart for needed shades with Anchor, DMC and Madeira. It has color charts but also black and white charts of selected design which you can easily enlarge by a photocopier. What I like in the book is its informative touch and the fact that designs are used in many ways; wall-hangings, bookmarks, tea-tray sets, cushions etc. If you are interested about Chinese styled stitching, take a look at it.
