NEW ~ The 1983 exhibit at the Museo de Artes e Industrias Populares highlighted concern about over-exploitation of the Murex and Purpura mollusks, harvested for their natural textile dyes. This book follows up with new historical research and chapters on Mixteco textiles in Pinotepa and Don Luis, scientific information about the mollusks, and harvesting techniques on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. Maps. Tables. Color photographs. Glossary / glosario. Bibliography / bibliografia. 164 pp. 1st reprint (2003) of the 1988 edition. Edition of 2000. En espanol / in Spanish. Dust jacket shows shelf wear especially to top edge and at spine, crease in back flap. Slight "seagulling" of the hard cover and a few inexplicable pink spots. Not a perfect copy--old inventory--but this book is very hard to find. In stock. Usually ships in three days.
