With an emphasis on serviceability, this popular text continues its focus on three major end uses of apparel, furnishing and industrial products. Comprehensive coverage of new fibers and finishes, legislation, production issues, and cost is presented in a clear, straight-forward manner, making this one of the best textile books available.
As far as textbooks go, this one was actually pretty good. The information was helpful and presented in a good way. Although sometimes I felt like it went way too in depth on some things, it was very helpful and very good at explaining challenging concepts.
