Great book with a good overview of contemporary art made of textiles. Well worth buying. Art lovers are strongly advised to invest in this book in order to learn that textiles is a great medium to create art.
One minor comment: the book does not have an index to go fast to a favorite artist or image.

This is my favourite book for up to date, exciting embroidery. The range of work in there means that there's something for all craftsters and it had just the right amount of information to introduce you to lots of new artists- a starting point.
