A very intense book to get started in Textiles. Textiles is so involved and complex. This book delivers. The Swatchbook that can be purchased with it on the other hand lacks due to poor quality swatches. I am in the process of finding better swatch books than the one that is issued for purchase with this book.
This book is for my class textile technology and design. There is probably more information in here than I will ever need to know this quarter but I will be holding on to it after this class because it is such a valuable reference. The information is easy to find and presented in a format that makes it easy to understand. There are great definitions and many illustrations throughout. The new edition has a lot of information on sustainable fibers and textiles which is the main thing that I am interested in.
This book covers what you need to learn about the business in the fashion industry.It is easy to understand and you do really get a lot out of it. Strongly Recommend it!
this is the book for 'textile science' and we still use it as reference in 'fabric id'. i have never read another textile book. so no comparison. since FIDM have been using this book for a while, i guess this can't be bad
this book is so important and useful in learning about fabrics and fibres. i bought it used and it was very used but none of the pages were missing and all were still in good reading and viewing condition.
bought this for a friend who's daughter is doing fashion design at college. she was amazed at the exceptional quality of the used book. she is very pleased
Very informative and helpful for anyone. Recommend for general knowledge and textile careers. Knowledge based for synthetic or manmade and organic fibers.
