This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

I read the reviews before buying this book, so I expected it to be a little over my head (I am brand new to weaving and have bought several "getting started" books.)Indeed, it is way over my head. It not only doesn't show (as others have said) basic tie ups, etc, but some of the terminology is different than what I've seen in the "getting started" books.
However, having said that, I am going to keep this book, not only because I am a book-a-holic, but because I think when I get more experienced, it may prove to be, as another reviewer said, an "idea book" and will help me in future designs.

A handbook of weaves Samuel S b 1859 Dale G Hermann b 1845 Oelsner Books Reviews
I was thoroughly disappointed in this book as it does not include basic draft information for the weave structures. Neither the "flap" information or descriptions of the book indicate that this is an advanced book and not a "how to" book of weave structures and drafts. Perhaps later on I will understand how to derive construction information from weave structure. When that happens this book may be useful. Until then it is of limited to no use since it does not include basic (threading, tie-up, treading) draft information for the journeyman or inexperienced weaver.
From the publishing information This Dover edition, first published in 1952, is an unabridged and unaltered republication of the original edition published by the Macmillan Company in 1915.
What this means to a hand weaver in 2012 is that Oelsner is a idea book. There is a tremendous amount of technical information in this book, much of which is over my weaving head at this point in my skill set. A substantial subset of the information will always be beyond my four-shaft loom's grasp. Some of this book was written for textile designers who were not responsible for setting up their own looms.
Incidentally, the numbering of figures and diagrams can be difficult to follow; illustrations may be described several pages away from their location. With 1875 figures, this probably should not be a surprise.
Oelsner is the kind of book I'm happy to have on my shelf. I take it down every now and then and find I understand more than I did the last time. OTOH, I also recognize it's discussing even more aspects of weaving than I had even realized existed.
You won't learn to weave from A Handbook of Weaves, and if you're looking for handweaving pattern ideas, there are a number of more accessible books available. But if you have a bit of a book budget and you have room on your weaving bookshelf, Oelsner's well worth the inch it occupies. Wow. There's a lot to know in this field. Tie on a new warp and get on with it.
I'm so thankful to have this book. As a relatively "new" weaver, it wll be invaluable to my learning.
I will be treasuring this for many years to come. Thank you so much.
It was perfect
The book 'A Handbook of Weaves 1875 illustrations' is a very old publication but very interesting, precious! It is similar publications about weaves books ancient incas. I recommend it.

Old mill weaves from America's weaving industry! Language is often technical and assumes a great knowledge base in the reader. Good old book.
The best. This is my third copy in 20 years. The other two are sitting here; dog-eared, lose pages, and spines covered with tape. It is absolutely my 'go to' book when needing either technical help or inspiration. Glad that it was still available.
I read the reviews before buying this book, so I expected it to be a little over my head (I am brand new to weaving and have bought several "getting started" books.)
