From Library Journal
The first edition of this book (LJ 6/15/84) has long been a standard textbook for students of textile painting, printing, dyeing, and other methods of fabric embellishment. For this edition, the authors have added new information on the safe use of chemical dyes and have revised dyeing procedures to incorporate what they have learned over the past decade about working with chemicals in an environmentally responsible manner. They have also revised the supply source list and made minor corrections and additions throughout the book. Academic and large public libraries that have the first edition will want this one, and libraries lacking that one should definitely add this to their collections.
