This book introduces numerous textile products and related materials created by William Morris and Morris & Co. with many illustrations. It is a comprehensive research book that explains dyeing, weaving, carpets, techniques, and finishes by genre.

From the Translator's Postscript (excerpt):
...This book is a specialized research book that focuses on the textiles of Morris. ...This book by Ms. Linda Parry, based on Morris's letters and other primary sources, covers Morris's textile works comprehensively and attempts to get closer to the real image of Morris. ...

I received this from a seller.
The previous seller only flipped through the illustrations after purchasing, and I did the same.
It is in beautiful condition.

The main body (photo 3) has a cover of thin paper like glassine. There is a small tear at the bottom (photos 5 and 6). To prevent the tear from spreading, I repaired it with masking tape after taking the photos.
There is a small stain on the top of the cover (photo 7).





Thank you for looking.
