If you love tapestry or want to learn more about tapestry weaving this is the book to purchase. The illustrations are just what a weaver needs to be able to learn tapestry weaving from the leading experts of the world. This book is also a nice family affair between the daughter and her parents. I had the wonderful opportunity to be able to study under Jean & Yael at the Taos Institute of Art back in the late 1990's. The knowledge I learned from them is now resurfaced with this absolute amazing textbook put together by their daughter, Yadin Larochette. Life is a tapestry and enjoy the discover it has to offer.

This book is a treasure! It is a must have for anyone who has a love for tapestry and wants to have access to some of the amazing insights on weaving technique and tapestry conservation. Not only is this such a gift for the World now but will be for generations to come!

I have many books on tapestry. This book is amazing with invaluable information. Techniques on weaving structures to get good curves and other helpful design shapes. The information on conservation and materials is thorough. This is a good solid resource. Thank you.

This is an extremely well done book. It is beautifully printed and the spine allows you to lay it open flat. It is not a beginners tapestry weaving book, but has a wealth of information for the intermediate or advanced tapestry weaver.

How to create the beauty of tapestry is illustrated well. Mind you this is not something you will learn in a weekend but it will be you busy and creative for a lifetime!

I bought this book to be inspired but have ended up weaving exercises from it. Not to be missed by aspiring and practicing tapestry weavers.

Lovely approach to writing by authors with depth of experience- very good illustrations of techniques

Anatomy of a Tapestry will serve as a detailed reference for anyone who is interested in woven tapestry.

This is a good book for tapestry lovers. Good examples of techniques, photos, and good info on conservation of tapestries.

Un livre important pour comprendre la tapisserie!
