I bought this book as a supplement to the textbook being used in our classroom (Fabrics for Interiors). The primary text is loaded with full-color pictures but does not really explain the details of fabric choice and application the way Nielsen does in Interior Textiles. A full third of Nielson's book is dedicated to historical styles and how fabric contributed to them, which is not covered in our primary text at all. In addition, Wiley's web site has an area dedicated to additional companion resources. While it does not appear to be fully populated yet, I look forward to using the book and the site constantly through the remainder of my education and going forward into my career in interior design.[...]
I received my book in a very quick time frame. I found it in great condition, and had plenty of time before my class started. I would recommend the supplier and order again in the future for other needs.
This textbook is the best. It is very readable and can be easily understood. There is not any doubt that the author knows the subject at hand very well and presented it in a manner that is understandable, and makes the textbook enjoyable to read.
