I found Bogolanfini Mud Cloth in the gift shop at the National Textile Museum in Washington, DC. It’s really all pictures–150 pages of full-color clear pictures of nothing but mudcloth (cloth on white background, glossy pages), with a few pages of essays at the beginning to set the stage. The book comes with a CD containing all the images, and permission to use up to five of them for “personal use.”
About 1/4 of the patterns in Bogolanfini Mud Cloth make me stop in my tracks. You may find a different quarter to be of interest. They’re all compelling; my taste runs to bold graphics. Great source material.
