These books are in my collection and they are wonderful. My three favorites are: 1491, A Perfect Red, and Made in Mexico. Great Masters of Mexican Folk Art is one of those coffee table book treasures that is now out of print and if you can find one on Amazon, you have to pay a king’s ransom. The Unbroken Thread laid the foundation for the establishment of the new Museo Textil de Oaxaca, and if you are interested in textile preservation techniques, it is a great resource. Enjoy!
