Bibliography - Textiles and Costume

This portion of my bibliography includes books on textile and costume history. Costume and textile history falls within many different spheres of research including anthropologists, ethnographers, art historians, fashion theorists and cultural historians. There are many books out there, but they are not easy to find, rarely are grouped together and go out of print quickly.
