Customer Reviews

A very useful resource
I have seen every edition of this book since it first appeared in 2001 and have found it invaluable as a source of contacts in the textile world. I have just heard from the editor, Sue Richardson, that the paper version is not being produced in 2008, so this edition will be the most current one available for a while. Sue tells me she still has a few copies of the 2007 edition left.
