This book could be considered an introduction to textile art, as many of the projects are more art pieces than practical textiles. Projects in a variety of styles by several different artists plus photos of inspiration pieces. My biggest criticism is that there are two photos on the back cover, two on the opening pages, one on the contents page of a total of four projects not included in the book. Since this was a collaborative effort, perhaps these projects were pulled after the pages were already sent to the printer but if photos are in the book I believe the projects should be included.
