Revised edition
Synopsis
This exciting journal brings together research in an innovative and distinctive academic forum, and will be of interest to all those who share a multifaceted view of textiles within an expanded field. Representing a dynamic and wide-ranging set of critical practices, it provides a platform for points of departure between art and craft; gender and identity; cloth, body and architecture; labor and technology; techno-design and practice--all situated within the broader contexts of material and visual culture., This is the first journal to look at the cultural meanings of textiles, with articles drawn from a wide range of disciplines.

    I was pleased with the entire purchase - the price of the book was very reasonable, the shipping was free, the book was delivered on time (important bc it was for my husband's birthday!), and my husband is looking forward to reading it. The book was in a thick plastic bag within the outside packaging, so it got to me unharmed. And it is at least as described - I think the condition is a bit better than "very good". I will visit Rock Top again soon!
