The ebook is very useful and informative. got to know many things and found some answers to my problems and questions. would like to see more detail explanations on individual testing of fibers and fabrics such as tensile testing, compression testing, single fiber testing, friction measurements of fabrics. I would like to know how each individual property is been calculated by the blue hill software. It will be great if you could provide some references for the above mentioned calculations for the tests.

Ebook is great. I even got a hard copy. Very informative. Makes it easy to find what we need. Pictures were done very well. We liked when a hand was in the picture for easy reference on size of the part.
