Average Rating: 
Don't buy this book if you want to learn how to batik
Rating:
Discussion of the history of batik is very through, unfortunately, that is not what I was looking for. Also, photos are black and white, and not easy to follow.
The section discussion how to batik is relatively small compared to the material in the book, and not easy to follow, as the photos are black and white and somewhat small. I recommend Creative Batik over this book, if you want to learn how to batik.
What a dissappointment
Rating:
Tie dye is about color and feeling. The book is in black and white. How can you teach tie dye and batik in black and white. Waste of time!!!
Informative by disappointing as well
Rating:
This is the kind of book that needs a lot more color illustrations. The information was great, but my problem is that the book did not inspire me very much and I think this kind of book should do that.
