Welcome reprint of a classic,
By pacem@mindspring.com (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living With Decorative Textiles (Paperback)
Barnard's classic, now back in print, is not only a decorating book, but also an encyclopedia of ethnic textiles, their history, and their care. Every page is filled with gorgeous color photographs of the use of textiles in settings from the American southwest (Navaho blankets) to London (Middle Eastern Kilims) to Paris (African Kuba cloth). Items from hats (Afghani) to huipils (Guatamala) are shown framed, used as furniture coverings, made into pillows, or just hung imaginativly on a wall. I am delighted to find it back in print in a soft cover version. Each time I've loaned out my precious hardbound copy (and then only to special people), I have made SURE I got it back. A must-have for anyone who loves textiles, and at a ridiculously low price given the size of the volume and its plentiful illustrations.

Such a treasure, available at such low prices,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I just wanted to second the earlier review of this gorgeous tome. As a textile researcher who has lived for long stretches in Latin America, with a lively interest in tribal textiles from Asia as well, I thought I'd be tough to impress; but the author and photographer had me entranced from the start, never disappointed, and left me knowing I'd surely peruse Living with Decorative Textiles again and again. I can imagine the world being a somewhat happier place, certainly more frugal and greener, if all those incredibly inexpensive hard covers were bought up this year as holiday gifts!
