I've always liked "Identification of Textile Materials" seventh edition,
published by The Textile Institute, Manchester in 1985. (  ISBN 0 900739
18 )  It contains very nice photomicrographs of fibers and is generally
a clear and concise book.  Perhaps it has been revised?  I got my copy
via Archetype Books in London.

We are in the process of updating our museum library.  I would like to
add a
book about fiber identification to our collection.  I would really like
one that
focuses on microscopic identification with images of many different
fibers.
Does anyone know of any good books on this subject?

Thank you!
