There are many books on textiles, clothing and accessories and related subjects, and there is a steady stream of new publications. We are often asked to recommend books for students, academics and the general public. So the TRC regularly publishes reviews of new, and sometimes not so new books on the subject, which have been included in the TRC library. New book reviews are regularly listed on the frontpage of the TRC webpage, and older reviews are archived with the library section.
