  • A Comprehensive & Beautifully Illustrated Reference

    Covering such a broad subject matter can be risky with text often becoming bland and overly generalized. Not so in this book by Marsha Manchester which provides a succint but interesting information about a variety of vintage household textiles from fine lace tablecloths to embroidered flatware envelopes. A wonderful reference for those 'I bought this and its pretty, but I have no idea what it is' pieces that collector's often find. It has been an invaluable resource in helping me build the vocabularly necessary to make my vintage linen auction listings accurate. It is arranged alphabetically, making it easy to use and, despite the fact that it was published in 1997, I still find the pricing guides to be reliable. I particularly like the emphasis on lace pieces which can often be difficult ...

  • Looking on learning what you are seeing in the way of vintage linens at estate sales...buy this book for the help you need.

    Marsha L. Manchester has done a wonderful job on helping to identify different kinds of fabric that vintage linens were made from as well as the many different kinds of embroidery that were done on them...tablecloths, napkins, sheets, pillow slips and other linens that we still use today. I found the MANY wonderful color photos so helpful as well as the excellent text that was next to the photos. I wish I had had her book years ago when I first started to find these wonderful old pieces of textile history and buy them. Would have been most helpful in identifying the many things I bought as well as the many pieces that I did not buy and later wished that I had. Good job, Ms. Manchester!
