"It is certainly one of the best researched titles on the topic of modern tapestry. . . It is an important addition to any academic library with programs in design. Public libraries with strong art collections and collectors interested in learning more about modern tapestry will find this title solid and well worth the $65.00 price tag."—Barbara Opar, ARLIS/NA Reviews -- Barbara Opar * ARLIS/NA Reviews *
