Böhmer, Harald<br><br>Koekboya, Natural Dyes and Textiles: A Colour Journey from Turkey to India and Beyond<br><br>Remhob-Verlag Ganderkesee 2002<br><br>500 color illustrations 298 pp. 8.5 x 11 Hardback in Very Good condition<br><br>Koekboya is a Turkish word. Literally translated, it means root-dye. It is used in Turkey for all kinds of natural dyes, whether they actually are made from roots or rather from flowers, leaves, tubers, or seeds. Even insect dyes are included in the Turkish expression Koekboya. In this book, almost 100 dyeplants from Turkey and around the world are introduced on a scientific basis: their botany, their qualities for dyeing, their cultural and historical importance, and - in light of the world-wide Renaissance of natural dyeing - aspects concerning their reintroduction, for professional use or as a hobby. <br><br>ISBN: 3936713014
