«Very well illustrated and produced, to advtage, to a slightly larger format […] the discussions of the technical aspects are the most interesting.»
Ancient West & East
«…a rich and useful synthesis of our current knowledge of how cloth was created in Attica and the wider Greek world. Richly but usefully illustrated with many colour images (scenes from pots, sculpture, and, importantly, archaeological finds) and with numerous line drawings and charts, the large-formatted book also offers a comprehensive glossary of textile-related terms in Classical Greek literature. It will form a secure basis of fact and interpretation for all scholars and students interested in dress-related subjects.»
