There are plenty of books written on textiles for technical school students and advanced workers. But one fails to find a book explaining the manufacture and testing of textiles for commercial, industrial, domestic arts and continuation schools and for those who have just entered the textile or allied trades. This book is written to meet this educational need. Others may find the book of interest, particularly the chapters describing cotton, woolen, worsted and silk fabrics. (jacket)
