Embroidered Textiles: Traditional Patterns from Five Continents : With a Worldwide Guide to Identification

Rating:
Summary: Color, design and symbolism beautifully defined
Review: As a textile collector and as an individual interested in anthropology I found this book full of invaluable insights. A good, clear read, excellent pictures and wonderful research makes this book an excellent reference. If you aren't intensely interested in the history of cultures and their expression in textiles this is not the book for you. If you are interested in such things: I highly reccomend this book.
