Despite the boring cover, this is a great book on quilt history with wonderful photographs. I urge you to buy it. It's a steal at these prices.
nice photos and comments

This book has some very nice photos of some very nice quilts. It shows how much quilts are a part of American life/culture. I also like that she has chosen to show some modern examples such as the domestic violence quilt. It shows traditional ones as well as contemporary.
A truly lovely book

It's called "Living with Quilts" but the real question is how did we ever live without them? This fascinating book caters for the real hardcore quilters like myself, yet is accessible too to those uninitiated in this fascinating craft. An ideal coffee table book for those expecting middle aged women or gay visitors.
Unlike any quilt book you have ever seen

I own many quilt books, ones with patterns, coffee table quilt books, etc. This book has the most interesting and extensive history of quilting I have ever read. It is a visual feast for the eyes. I was a little skeptical at first because I had read that Pyllis George was not a quilter, but she really knows her subject matter. Two thumbs up!
Beautiful, quilts loaded with history - great holiday gift!

A beautiful, colorful coffee table book with quilts of every imaginable design, color, shape, and size. Most old, some new with a comprehensive look at the history of America thru quilts. Also, a unique look at how to live with you quilts in a decorative way.
