Review: The art of mankind -- on the loud speaker! - Let't get it out of the way first.......I don't "get" the choice of artwork for the cover. I was in a toney NYC book store and saw this book, all awash in shrink wrap, and I "assumed" that it was about the history of textiles. The choice of cover artwork, a very lovely-but-traditional print, lead me to think that this was yet-another door stop book about textile design through the ages. Luckily, I happened to encounter the book elsewhere and flipped through. Key word: "flipped"! I knew this was something that would be amazingly inspiring, for years to come. So, I am very happy with my desertcart purchase of this book. It is lavish, surprising, informative, motivational, distinctive, and beautifully presented. I think the preponderance of ethnic textiles, plus vital contemporary examples is SO at odds with the cover....Well, a small quibble. A beautiful, inspiring book. Try it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ love the TEXTILES; THE ART OF MANKIND
*by M***E on August 23, 2013*

The photographs are superb breath taking and the text is enlightening, provocative, and relevant.. This should be required reading for anyone who wants to be in the fabric business; especially fashion design. I always learn something new and the book is worth its weight in gold (or beautiful textiles.) Kudos to Ms. Schoeser and she has written a masterpiece!!
