From Library Journal
From start to finish, this book is a visual delight. In 300 remarkably clear and vivid color photographs, the glories of this regal fabric are displayed by examples of its use in fashions and furnishings. The main focus of the book is silk fabrics from periods preceding the 14th century to the present in France, but actual gowns and textiles from France's museums and archives are shown as well. Whereas Phillipa Scott's The Book of Silk (LJ 1/94) gave a general history of silk from its origins in Asia, textiles historian Anquetil concentrates on Europe, especially the silk manufacturing centers of Tours and Lyon. There is so little, if any, duplication between the two books that collections specializing in textiles, fashion, or design really must have both. If more general collections can afford only one volume, then Anquetil's more deluxe Silk is highly recommended.?Therese Duzinkiewicz Baker, Western Kentucky Univ. Libs., Bowling Green
