Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. Size: 12mo-over 6.75"-7.75" tall; 1st Edition, gift quality, hardcover in matte black paper covered boards, with semi glossy stripes and polka dots on frt cover. Upper spine end and tips brushed with color loss. Barely there 1-Inch indent on back board. 145pp text is tight and crisp with no writing, highlighting, or soil inside. No jacket, not exlib. From camouflage to keffiyeh, plaid to paisley, Patterns are all around us-yet they often go unnoticed. And event the loudest prints aren't speaking all their secrets: each is a deep trove of historical and cultural associations. Patternalia plumbs the backstories of individual patterns-designed and naturally occurring-and the curious personalities they accrue over time. Why are honeycombs hexagonal, Why do zebras have stripes? How did paisley a pattern originating in India, take on the name of a town in Scotland. And what makes polka dots patriotic?
