"Printed Textile Design is a wonderfully illustrated introduction to this field. The subjects that it covers and the case studies that it provides are easy for students to approach, and it features a wide choice of research projects. Another of its highlights is that alongside the artistic and technical content, it provides an overview of the industry and jobs in textiles. This book is a good study companion for textile design students. I will be including it in the reading lists for all my courses!"
