No Color Illustrations Except on Cover
Don’t assume books with colorful covers have any pictures of color inside! Most of the pictures are poor quality black and white. A few are a little better to view and understand the process. Was disappointed as tie dye is really about the colors and patterns so would have appreciated better quality.

Doesn't have colored photos
I bet the tie dye in the book would be better if the pictures weren't in black and white. Some of the techniques are a little dated. I was hoping to find a book that gave more direction on how to tie garments of different size and variety to achieve certain types of styles. This book has some great historical information on tie dye. Good addition to my home library.

Don't buy this book if you want to learn how to batik
Discussion of the history of batik is very through, unfortunately, that is not what I was looking for. Also, photos are black and white, and not easy to follow.The section discussion how to batik is relatively small compared to the material in the book, and not easy to follow, as the photos are black and white and somewhat small. I recommend Creative Batik over this book, if you want to learn how to batik.

Bland and Boring
When I received this book I was extremely disappointed to see that ALL the illustrations were black and white. The book is about batik and tie dye, two textiles techniques that are all about COLOUR, yet the entire book is black and white. Could the author/publishers not afford to print in colour? The information is good, but written in a technical manner that I soon got bored with. The book did not make me get excited about batik or tie dye. I would never have spent money on this book if I had seen it in a store.

Great Library Addition
I love textile art and this is a wonderful addition to my library. A couple of new ideas and techniques for me to try out.The book has enough technique descriptions that I recently leant it to a former student for her to use as reference while teaching her first class.

Informative by disappointing as well
This is the kind of book that needs a lot more color illustrations. The information was great, but my problem is that the book did not inspire me very much and I think this kind of book should do that.-P-

A great source of techniques for those wanting to expand their batik repertoire. It isn't full of glossy step by step pictures, more like an excellent source of technical information.It will be really helpful me.

I was very disappointed to find that it was in black and white
Whilst the content of this book is adequate, I was very disappointed to find that it was in black and white, with very few colour illustrations. I should have looked more carefully at the description and at the age of the book. It's a pity that this was not noted more clearly in the description.
