A 128-page book introducing new designs and techniques for handwoven rugs. With many photographs and diagrams, this book is enjoyable just to look at, even for those who don't use English. Especially for those who weave by hand, you can understand the book from the diagrams showing the weave structures and techniques. - Title: Weaving Contemporary Rag Rugs - Author: Heather L. Allen - Publisher: Lark Books - Contents: Explains rug designs, weave structures, and weaving techniques with many photos and diagrams. - Published: 1998 - Language: English - Size: 26.5cm (height) 22cm (width) 1.5cm (thickness) I purchased this book in the United States and have kept it on my bookshelf. Rather than being used, it has been displayed on the bookshelf, so there are no markings. However, I had written my name on the inside cover page, so I have cut out that page only (it does not affect the main text). There is some discoloration and slight staining on the front and back covers, the colophon page, and the cover due to aging. I personally think that the pages of the book are in very good condition. Thank you for looking.
