A critical review in Nature of H. B. Heylin's 'The Cotton Weaver's Handbook' (London: Charles Griffin, 1908). The reviewer finds the book hasty and repetitive, with many factual and typographical errors, poor machinery illustrations, and inadequate chapters on the power loom and yarn preparation. The chapter on weaves is called the best part. The review also criticizes the costing and yarn-count sections, the blank pages and the reprinted examination questions.
