Average Customer Rating:

Cheaper than the Bookstore	Customer Rating:
It was much cheaper than my college bookstore and shipping was free. I could have paid less for it if I had gone with one of the independant sellers instead of Amazon directly, but I would have had to pay for shipping. I have enjoyed the book even though it is a text book.

Great text	Customer Rating:
This was an easy textbook to follow when I took my textiles class. It is very informative and interesting.

Excellent insight for Seamstress

Customer Rating:

I had been searching through all of the sewing books I could find to learn more about the nature of fabric and fibers...and everything I could possibly want to know was here, and more. Absolutely fascinating. It is a textbook, but was written clearly enough that anyone with an interest in the area can easily understand it. I've been teaching classes to costumers and members of the local American Sewing Guild, who are equally impressed with the knowledge we got from this book.

Connecting Textiles and Science

Customer Rating:

I use this book as the text for teaching a basic textiles course for sophmores. This text provides a sound foundation for students understanding the textiles and the science foundations that are the base for predicting textile performance. Every line is packed with information; there is no fluff in this book. If you want to understand WHY textiles and textile products perform in specific ways, this is the book to buy.
