This book is my bible. I use a loom that looks very much like the one on the cover at a living history museum. There are very few "how to" manuals for colonial looms, and this is the best I've found. Of all the weaving books I have read, this is the one that made me "click" about how to read and execute drafts. There may not be a big audience for this kind of book, but, if you've read this far, this is worth buying.
