Especially interesting are the many pictures of early 20th century looms and advertisements from the 30's and '40s. 20 projects ~ helpful hints ~ glossary ~ bibliography and index http://stores.ebay.com/2crazy4books2
A good basic book about weaving rag rugs, with enough info to get you started using your rug loom. The book also includes old ads and information about many of the brands and models of rug looms sold in the USA over the last 100 years or so, which can help identify used looms. This book is well written and seems too be a complete guide for beginning weavers.
