About this title

Reviews

The author's extensive background in costume and commercial textiles is evident in this one-volume encyclopedia written for the general reader. Entries emphasize manufacured as opposed to handcrafted textiles and include information on fabric types, natural and manufactured fibers, manufacturing processes, finishes, surface design, and dyeing. There are also brief biographical sketches of individuals notable in textile history. The volume is illustrated throughout with line drawings and photographs. Individual entries are linked by cross references. This is recommended for large public and academic libraries. (Photos not seen.)-- Janice Zlendich, California State Univ. Lib., Fullerton
