Critics Review
“Attractive … a carefully constructed book that provides the fullest presentation of this topic to be published in English.” – Library Journal on the 1st edition
“Presents the history of the craft and includes many visuals, including historic photographs, schematics, diagrams, pattern weaves, that make the study of this rather commonplace article exciting … The glossary of textiles and the extensive bibliography will delight readers who want to learn more … Recommended for libraries with strong textile studies, women’s studies, and art history collections.” – Joan Stahl, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Art Documentation review of the 1st edition
