A lot of good information on basic quilting terms and history - though, since it was written in 1991, a lot of the information on "current" people, companies and trends are very outdated.

Meh, all right for an encyclopedia I guess. Not much new to learn.

From A-Z, everything you could want to know about quilts and quilting, with lots of pictures. Does not include directions for specific patterns.
