Hand-weaving

The Shuttle-Craft Book of American Hand-Weaving, by Mary Meigs Atwater (HC, 1945, $5, which is 1/3 the internet price)
This book gives "a historical account of the origin, development, decline, and modern revival of the art." Filled with photos, diagrams and threading drafts, this book also classifies three hundred patterns for easy reference for use by both experts and beginners. Those of you who love to weave, or just to collect weaving, please come and check out this book in the craft section.

PS: We still have lots of books on quilting and needlecraft.
