[Rarebooks] FS: Sexy Book on Fabric Structure Classification

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Emery, Irene.  "The Primary Structures of Fabrics. An illustrated
Classification"  Washington; The Textile Museum: 1980.  An updated version
of a text first published in 1966. “Based on a long and wide-ranging study
of representative fabrics from ancient and primitive cultures, and of the
methods and terminology employed in analyzing, describing and classifying
them”, this is a rollicking, action-packed exploration of the components
of fabric structures, the classification of fabric structures, and
structures accessory to fabrics. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll not be
able to put it down (though if you do, be careful, because it’s heavy). 
Hardcover. 9”x12”, xxvi + 341 pages, black & white illustrations. In fine,
clean, unworn condition.  [32299]  $100.00
