Cr�ticas:

"Fabulous Fabrics of the '50s )and Other Terrific Textiles of the '20s, '30s and '40s)," by Gideon Bosker, Michele Mancini and John Gramstad, gives us yet another of this publisher's definitive glimpses of the pop-culture past. Warning: Grandma's-house-flashbacks ahead. With its great images of birch-bark weaves, wafflecloth, barkcloth, pima cotton and much, much more, you will want to run your fingers over the pages but, alas, samples aren't included. The authors are vintage textile collectors and purveyors, and they trace the evolution of the fabrics as patterns exploded accroding to the thmese and trends of the era. --Seattle Post-Intelligencer Seattle Post-Intelligencer2

Rese�a del editor:

Fabulous Fabrics of the 50s offers up 170 striking full-colour photographs accompanied by lively text and detailed captions chronicling the bold new patterns and unprecedented colour combinations that took over American decor in the mid-twentieth century. Organized by pattern type into ten chapters, it also covers the floral prints and Hollywood-inspired satins of the 30s and the vivid tropical and nautical designs of the 40s.
