Textilia Linnaeana
Global 18th Century Textile Traditions & Trade
“...Textilia Linnaeana is a magnificent book, visually and intellectually. It offers a truly global account of eighteenth-century textiles and clothing cultures told through the apostles’ extraordinary journeys of scientific and ethnographic discovery.”

THE LINNAEUS APOSTLES
Global Science & Adventure | 8 Volumes, 11 Books
“These are big, heavy books best approached with the aim to spend time with them, over days or weeks, somewhere quiet with good light. What's inside them is an armchair adventure of the finest order.”
[The Wall Street Journal]
The Textile History of Whitby 1700-1914
A lively Coastal Town between the North Sea and North York Moors
“Limited to a run of 350 copies, and weighing 1.8 kilograms (4 lbs), this detailed volume will cost the €68. Given that it is a work at the interface of local, maritime and textile studies this will be money well spent. Lavishly and lovingly produced… As an exercise in multi-record linkage applied to three intersecting academic worlds, the volume and its author are to be commended.”
