Product Description
This revision is devoted entirely to textiles for interiors and provides a comprehensive and complete coverage of essential topics. Beginning with a primer on textile fibers, the content ranges from basic textiles to end-products used in residential and commercial interiors, including textile and non-textile upholstery fabrics, window coverings, drapery linings, textile wall coverings, soft floor coverings and cushions, and household and institutional textiles. Numerous photographs and illustrations bring these concepts to life. This text includes pedagogy such as case studies, key terms, review questions, and an extended glossary.

 Great book for Interior Designers July 14, 2009

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.
 This book needs help! April 13, 2006

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.
