a definite go-to book

I cannot say enough good things about this book. It is continually inspiring. And when I need to learn something new, it does not fail to teach. Yes, it was written over a 100 years ago, but pattern is pattern. There are only so many ways to cover a two-dimensional surface with motifs or lines, and instructions for so doing are excellent. I have had difficulty only with using them for making repeats of abstract paintings, a topic only arising a number of years after Mr. Day's classes ceased. I suspect that, had he encountered such, there would have been elegant instructions for accomplishing the task. I am so glad Dover is keeping this classic in print.

Pithy, practical, instructive illustrations

This book is quite old in terms of it's publishing dates, which makes me assume that it is a classic in the genre. I forget if I was referred to this book by a friend in textiles or if I found it myself. Regardless, it seems to cover the gamut of all repeat patterns and how to make them with visual instructions

LOVE this book

For anyone interested in the art of repeat patterns, this book is fantastic. Filled with lots of good old fashioned advice and methods, it shows a whole bunch of ways to build repeating blocks that you can then manipulate and decorate to your own ends. Techniques are easily adapted to use in a vector graphics program too, so you can follow instructions with a ruler and pencil or with your computer.

A teaching manual.

Great references to Surface Pattern Design.

This was written in the early 20th century for wallpaper designers. It's been more interesting to me as a historical document showcasing how manufacturing and design evolved together than as a guide to designing patterns. But it does explain repeats, symmetries, etc, and I have been able to design some patterns on my computer based on something written nearly 100 years ago. The language is dated.
