Love the designs and ideas it inspires. A great idea book, well laid out. Does not include anything about setting up a loom. Assumes a certain level of understanding. Clear illustrations and instructions. Worth owning.

At first I thought this book was so cool, because of interesting looking structures. Then I realized that it doesn't include the treadling patterns so you have to try and reconstruct them? But it doesn't state that anywhere. How bizarre! I'm glad I only checked it out of the library.

An idea book, lots of clashing colours, nothing really new. Theading and tie-up is given but not treadling. One of the rare weaving books I regret buying.

Dobbyを使う人用に書かれたのか、Tie-upについての記述が一切なし。数か月して読んだら自分にあった活用法が見つかるかもしれないと期待しておこう（今は必要性を感じず）
