Printed Textiles: British and American Cottons and Linens 1700-1850 Hardcover – September 23, 2014

This is a beautiful scholarly book not a light read but the pictures are worth the price if you never read more than the labels on each picture.

Buy this book! Linda Eaton has updated one of the most important textile and quilt history texts ever printed. All the pictures in the book are now in color. Readers no longer have to imagine how the textiles look- they have recently taken photos to show them. New scholarship has been incorporated that adds significantly to our understanding of these textiles as well. Even if you own Montgomery's original book, you need this book.

Book was purchased as a gift for an avid quilter. And is a fascinating read and a visual treat regarding fabric patterns from long ago.

A very comprehensive book with excellent color photographs of assorted fabrics. Great for researching period fabric prints.

Fabulous, expert documentation and photography!

Wonderfully illustrated with in-depth text, a joy to read and learn about printed textiles.

Great for a costumer's library

Excellent resource book
