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.

If you have an interest in chintz and/or early fabrics, this is the must have book in your collection. Fabulous photos, good detail of where each fabric came from. A book to drool over, but don't as it is so very expensive. (I wish they had bought out a cheaper paperback edition). The only downside is that is a big heavy book. I would like to have read it in bed but it is too heavy.....
