4.0 out of 5 stars Informative by disappointing as well, August 26, 2003
By Quinbould "knowledgebuff" (Snowmass Village, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This is the kind of book that needs a lot more color illustrations. The information was great, but my problem is that the book did not inspire me very much and I think this kind of book should do that.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a dissappointment, July 2, 2004
By J. D. Wessels "lovesnature4" (Menlo Park, Gauteng South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tie dye is about color and feeling. The book is in black and white. How can you teach tie dye and batik in black and white. Waste of time!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book if you want to learn how to batik
Discussion of the history of batik is very through, unfortunately, that is not what I was looking for. Also, photos are black and white, and not easy to follow. Read more
