though I have a number of books about dyeing this is the one I return to again and again because it more thoroughly explains recipes and processes and creation and use of additivesmordants than any other book I have.

Beautifully illustrated but the font is so small it is a real chore to try to read. I would have gladly paid more for the additional pages needed to provide at least a #10 font. Tragic.
