I am the author of three books on textiles: SILK and COTTON: Textiles from the Central Asia that was; RUSSIAN TEXTILES: Printed Cloth for the Bazaars of Central Asia; and TEXTILE DESIGNS: Two Hundred Years of European and American Patterns for Printed Fabrics - all three published by Abrams Books, NY. The textiles offered on my rugrabbit pages are from my personal collection. I live in California and all items will be sent from there. Unless otherwise requested, I ship through the US Postal Service. PayPal or a check are accepted.
