From the Introduction

Dr. H. P. Mera commenced his research on Spanish-American weaving at the beginning of the twentieth century, a time of little information and many misconceptions about the art.  He had completed a manuscript on the subject by the late 1940s, only a few years before his death in 1951.  The School of American Research (SAR) prepared the book for publication in 1965, setting type and making color transparencies for twenty-four plates, but a shortage of funds kept the book from being printed, and it was consigned to the SAR archives.  It is now published for the first time.
