In review: The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World by Virginia Postrel

I’m pleased and honored to share with you my recent review of Postrel’s book, The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World, that appears in the current issue of Surface Design Journal.

Each Surface Design Journal issue focuses on a different topic; this issue highlights contemporary basketry and artists from around the world exploring that art form. You can find out more about Surface Design Journal here.

If you’ve read the book, I’d welcome your comments and thoughts! Feel free to add them to the comments section below or send me an email at vjzepf@gmail.com .
