There is oodles of info in it, however, it is the absolute driest book I've ever had to read. I actually love the majority of my textbooks. As a design student, I expect a book to have nice color photos, beautiful layout and an organization that is more appealing. This book needs help! How about a graphic design professional to work the layout and photos, maybe pay a little extra for some color pages (it looks like it was printed on a copy machine as is) and maybe someone to edit the copy so it is more palatable and less tiring. When I know I need to catch some zzzzz's, I just open this book and try to read a few paragraphs.

Of all the textile books, this is the best one for INTERIOR DESIGNERS (or decorators that want to learn more about fabric and codes). It does have black and white photos and it can be a bit hard to read at times, but overall it is very informative and a great reference book to have. The layout and organization is actually better than most textile books. Furthermore, if you are a student and have a good professor, you don't need color photos to comprehend this book.
