More About the Author

Mary Beth Temple has been knitting for way more years than she would care to own up to! Author of four books including the project of her heart, The Secret Language of Knitters, she spends her work time writing magazine articles and designing knitting and crochet patterns, and her not-work time driving her daughter both insane and to dance class. Or knitting socks. Or doing all of these things at the same time - she is nothing if not a multi-tasker...

3.0 out of 5 stars Common sense solutions, June 10, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rescuing Vintage Textiles (Paperback)
This is a book with basic information for people who really never had any prior experience with textiles. If you are a collector, you probably already know all of the suggestions that are in this book. I didn't learn anything new, and I am not a conservator.
Just getting into collecting textiles? Then this book would be for you, it offers helpful cleaning, preservation and storage tips. It's a quick read. Those looking for new ideas for removing specific stains, this isn't the book you need.

For the beginner this book will be helpful, but if you have been removing stains from textiles with at least some success, and you know how to store them, this book is not for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rescuing Vintage Textiles - review, July 10, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Rescuing Vintage Textiles (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone who wants to care for their fragile textiles at home. The author writes in an easy-to-read style and gives sensible advice on fabrics, cleaning solutions and storage, which is easy to read and doesn't take a professional textile conservator to understand. There are a lot of textile collectors who have learned the hard way what NOT to do with their cherished linens, but don't necessarily know what TO do. This is a book that should be on every textile collector's bookshelf.
