4.0 out of 5 stars Terribly boring but useful, July 24, 2007

By	Heather M. Steele (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Understanding Textiles (6th Edition) (Hardcover)

I had to get this book for my textiles class. The book is done in a rather boring format (it is pretty much just a reference book, what did I expect?!) but it was extremely useful for that class and for many more I have taken. Interesting tidbits throughout the book if you are at all interested in fashion and textiles.
