Tablet Weaving MagicTABLET WEAVING MAGIC: Patterns from Oriental Countries and 25 Patterns in Plain Tablet Weave, Otfried Staudigel.
Tablet weaving is one of those ancient weaving techniques that are either over simplified with too easy patterns or the instructions are so intricate that the really fascinating patterns from the past require a PhD to follow. This book from Germany breathes new life into the presentation of advanced tablet weaving techniques. The charts of the double-sided figurative patterns from the Arabic cultures and a batch of nice simple set-up patterns and six-hole tablet patterns really make this a must have for band weavers. (Text is in both English & German). ISBN-10: 3831113130. 249 pages, softcover, $65.00  #139179

Tapestry WeavingTAPESTRY WEAVING, Kirsten Glasbrook
Even if the modernistic samples and bright, primary colors in this book are not your favorite decorating style, the clear how-to instructions give you confidence to interpret the techniques into your own preferred designs. Basic methods are demonstrated through large, color photographs. All the tapestries in this book were woven on simple, rectangular frames, and you can even adapt an old picture frame for this purpose, and use rug yarn for the weft. (A valuable hint to someone who wants to try the skill before investing a lot of money in a loom.) From a solitary heart to circles, simple landscapes then progress on to a labyrinth and incredibly detailed side-woven panels. This book is a wealth of knowledge on the subject of weaving.  ISBN: 0855329386 8½" x 11½", softcover.  $21.95  #139228 

Techniques of Tablet WeavingTHE TECHNIQUES OF TABLET WEAVING, Peter Collingwood.
To finally have this magnificent book available again is just wonderful (This edition has been re-typeset and rearranged).  No other English writer has been able to so clearly and thoroughly explore a difficult technique.  With photos of historic pieces, many diagrams, and clear text, the author delves so deeply into areas, like double-face twill patterning, plain/twined weaves, brocades and patterned velvet, that you'll probably be starting a study group just to see what some of these patterns look like.  Many black and white photos and illustrations.  ISBN: 1566590558.  320 pages, 8 1/4" x 11" softcover, $35.00  #139219

Textiles 5000 YearsTEXTILES 5000 YEARS: An International History and Illustrated Survey, Jennifer Harris (Editor).
A comprehensive history of world textiles, this is the collaboration of 24 British authors associated with museums and universities, each a specialist in a particular period of textile production. The collaboration is expertly managed so that each section brings together the separate threads of the social, technological, and stylistic development of the period. Dazzling color photographs of the textiles cited as examples appear next to their references in the text. If you could not read a word, you would love the textiles photographed in this book. 425 illustrations, including 327 in full color.  ISBN-10: 0810938758.  Hardcover.  $75.00  #139660

Textures and Patterns for the Rigid Heddle LoomTEXTURES AND PATTERNS FOR THE RIGID HEDDLE LOOM, Betty Davenport.

This revised version has all new photos and new material including double weave with 2 rigid heddles. There are over 70 pages of written information, and some color photos as well. The book comes with a spiral binding so that you can lay it flat beside your loom to use as a reference. 74 pages, 6 color pages, $29.00.  #139631
