TECHNIQUES OF BASKETRY by Virginia Harvey
This hard to find soft cover book is 2nd printing from 1991. Just some wear on the front and back covers' edges from reading and re-shelving. INSIDE, there's a hand-written price on the title page from a garage sale years ago, otherwise the book is clean and free from other writing. 128 pages including index.
Never before have so many varieties of basketry techniques from so many parts of the world been covered in a single volume. The traditional methods-coiling, twining, wickerwork, splintwork, and plaiting-are described in detail, and special attention is given to the specific materials, beginnings, and finishes appropriate to each.
