Richards and Tyrl discuss the science of color and dyeing, the history of natural dyes, dye equipment and processing, and the colors obtained from 158 native North American plant species that are dissected and their parts processed and tested with five mordants. The result is a collection of more than 4,600 dye samples presented in a wealth of color photographs. The authors meticulously describe each of the 158 species and the exact colors various parts of each plant produce, and they identify the experimental conditions that result in little or no dye color. Each entry includes a description of the plant's morphological characteristics, soil requirements, and distribution. The result is a rather technical manual, hence a bit demanding, but readers interested in the techniques of dyeing will find it indispensable.
