The fabrics of Indonesia have long held an allure. They have now won universal popularity, so much so that local names for techniques of dying and weaving - batik, ikat, tritik - have been adopted internationally as generic terms.
THIS BOOK IS A GREAT REVIEW OF MOST OF THE VARIED TYPES OF TEXTILES IN INDONESIA. WITH LOTS OF COLORFUL PICTURES THAT ILLUSTRATE BOTH THE TEXTILES AND THE PROCESSES AND PEOPLE THAT PRODUCE THEM, THIS IS A RESOURCE CLASSIC. GILLOW AND DAWSON MAKE A SPLENDID TEAM, AND THE LATEST REPRINT OF THIS BOOK PROBABLY WON'T BE THE LAST.
