This hard bound book is called, "The Complete Book of Sewing." It was issued in 1972 and has step by step instructions for learning how to sew. The chapters included: Fabric & fashion-choosing the right fabric for the fashion; tools used; machine stitching; different types of seams; hems and facings; darts tucks and pleats; adding frills; choosing the right clothes for you and more. This has 320 pages with no internal markings, dog ears or damage but the dust cover is a mess with multiple tears and surface stains.
