My usual practice in purchasing art books is to look at a library copy first to be sure I really need it for my personal collection. I purchased this book because it got a favorable notice in Art News and I couldn't get it easily through my library, but I wish I'd waited. The historical information is moderately interesting but presented in a hodge podge manner. The information on how to make colors is not useful. I am particularly interested in using fabric dyes and I find the "recipes" that are given are unusable since they give proportions of ingredients but not the weight of the fiber those ingredients will dye. The illustrations are okay.
