Textile Designs: Two Hundred Years of European and American Patterns Organized by Motif, Style, Color, Layout, and Period Paperback – May 1, 2002

So happy with this order: above average for book shipments these days. The book arrived well packed, in perfect condition with an added Brodart cover on the dust jacket. Thank you!

Full of clear pictures

An amazing reference book for textile and surface designers, this book is full of thousands of full-color images, printed on high quality paper, with the designs organized in logical and intelligent ways according to type. Each design is individually labeled, with brief descriptions. Invaluable as a reference!

This was a special birthday book request from my textile artist daughter. When I found a good hardback used copy for a really fair price, this book seller got it there on time AND artistically wrapped it in a sheet of wall paper which was such a nice touch Thanks so much for going the extra mile and making it special.

The typical art books I purchase are about 100 pages, soft bound- fairly thin, but comprehensive. This book was SUCH a great surprise. It's REALLY, REALLY thick (textbook thick, if not more at almost 500 pages), and just FULL of images of textiles from the last 200 years. It certainly *is* a catalog of sorts- every glossy page is covered in full-color images of the details of the textile design, plus pertinent information about the design, the region, etc.This is more of a visual resource than an informational guide to textile design, but if you are remotely interested in textiles or surface design or pattern, this book is pure eye candy.

This book is full of information and the coloured pages are great too! Note the book is big but o love it!Very happy with my purchase ☺️

I ordered this book a long time ago, but it never showed up, no reason, just didn't show up. If you are a textile designer, this is essential reading, and should be part of you book collection.

This very heavy booked was packaged so well: Tissue to protect the cover; plastic to protect from moisture; heavy cardboard to protect the package; and lots of tape to secure it all.
