Review: fantastic - best coffee table book ever if you love fabrics, there is just so much to learn and discover here and the book is beautifully produced and realised, a real treasure
Review: Textiles: The Art of Mankind - A splendid book, well-researched and beautifully illustrated. Something to treasure....and to dip into, not really to read in one sitting. The project is ambitious - examining the history of textiles from the earliest times up to the present.Some of the discussion is about whether textiles count as 'art' or 'craft' - a dilemma that will probably never be fully resolved. The illustrations depict textiles from all over the world, from all periods of history, and the text examines mutual developments, and the influence of cultures on each other. It discusses various types of fibre and how they are used...silk, wool, linen, synthetic fibres and so on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely but weights a ton!
*by C***A on 25 January 2025*

This is no light reading, entirely due to the actual weight of the book. Otherwise it looks incredibly luxurious and it’s an amazing choice for a present (if they can carry it!)
