{"product_id":"the-dyers-practical-guide-1884","title":"The Dyer's Practical Guide (1884) - A Treatise on the Art of Dyeing Wool, Shoddy and Cotton","description":"Frank Sherry wrote as a practical dyer of thirty years' experience, and his Guide is a working book rather than a treatise: receipt after receipt for wool, shoddy and cotton, the preparation of the bath, the mordants, the order of operations, and a full description of the dye-stuffs and chemicals then in use — including the extraction of cotton from wool. It is a precise record of textile dyeing on the eve of the synthetic revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note: the original edition was interleaved with two hundred and fifty samples of dyed cloth, physically mounted on the page. A print facsimile cannot reproduce them; this edition contains the complete text and receipts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1884 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.","brand":"EDITIONS RECREASOFT","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67475057770800,"sku":"9782387810175","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/the-dyers-practical-guide-1884","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
