". . . the strength of Koppen's book lies in its through and well-illustrated presentation of the dovetail join, a characteristic element of Nordic tapestry weaving that not only gives the older weavings their distinctive charm, but has been used to great effect by modern tapestry weavers in Scandinavia today." Katherine Larson, author of The Woven Coverlets of Norway.
