More and more consumers are seeking a healthier, greener, and more self-reliant lifestyle. There is also a growing movement of people interested in quality, handcrafted, local products. These introductory handbooks for the fast-growing self-sufficiency movement are now being published in paperback for the first time, at a lower, attractive price point. They offer accessible, practical advice on what to do, how to do it better, and how to save money.

The weaving arts are currently experiencing a micro trend, evidenced by a fashion resurgence of 70s style woven décor, a weaving push by major craft retailers, and a newly active group at the National NeedleArts Association.
