Interesting design book

This book has line drawings depicting textile designs from the Italian renaissance. I had to laugh when I read the other reviews that complained that the book didn't contain information on the century or country of origin. The country is Italy. The Italian renaissance took place roughly between 1300-1600. This is a pretty broad range but narrows things down to a definable time socio-politically and artistically. The book is not exhaustive on the subject but for the price it is pretty good. Probably not a book for costumers; quilters, embroiders, possibly weavers might all find it useful as I did.
