ReviewsThe strengths of the text are that it covers everything in relation to the study of textiles. . . The table of contents is very well presented and it provides ease of navigation in the loose-leaf style textbook. I find a seamless synergy between booth the text and kit . Students have easy accessibility while reading about the topics and making the connections to the actual fabrics. The synergy reinforces their learning of the content., I have always liked the loose-leaf format. It is easier to read and highlight, stays open when used as a reference, and occasionally I've asked student to bring just one chapter to class with them. The images are outstanding-fresh, in color, and stylish. It is hard to make textiles sexy, but the front matter to each chapter reminds us that textiles are the basis of fashion.
