“…[Marilyn Moss] has done a superb job, from the wonderful array of images documenting the evolution of Moss designs to the narrative that carries us through decades of ups and downs in the world of fabric shelter construction…The renowned designer Jack Lenor Larsen once called Moss “a true genius, not well enough known or credited.” This book goes a long way toward giving the shaggy-haired mustachioed man the recognition he deserves as one of the visionary architects of the 20th century.

“I’ve known about Bill Moss, his amazing designs—and Marilyn—for a long time. As an ardent backpacker early in life I had the benefit of his vision and the wonderful lightweight tents—and I remember when the Moss brand on a tent was a sign of “made in Maine” and a spectacular look, feel and function. Perhaps even earlier, as a teenager on North Haven, I witnessed their mystery and genius when we snuck down (in the “off season”) to take a peek at the O’Domes—the amazing creations tucked in the woods behind Marilyn’s house. Then along the way I got to know the award-winning Maine companies—and Marilyn the phenomenal entrepreneur—along with her wonderful reputation of taking good care of their workers and creating jobs for over 150 Maine people by being truly socially responsible and engaging in the creative economy long before most people used the terms. Thank goodness Marilyn unpacked all the stored memories and turned them into a beautiful and inspiring book by adding her own personal stories, many wonderful photos, the history of the brilliant and visionary man and the wonderful work they did together.

“…what an accomplishment!! The format is beautifully designed, the color is compelling and the contents are exactly what you intended, a generous overview of his life, his life’s work, and a caring reflection by so many of the individuals that worked and lived with him…

“Bill Moss: Fabric Artist and Designer is one of the great American stories rooted in the postwar 50’s whose triumphs inspire people from all around the world to a free-spirited, ingenious and eco-savvy way of living and working. In Moss’ example, it’s about bringing beauty and innovative technology to the lightweight shelters that populate our lifestyle and environment. The creativity and drive of one individual, Bill Moss, supported by his wife and partner, Marilyn, and a small group of very talented followers, challenged corporate America to make better shelter products by example. Ultimately, through the widespread popularity and sales of its artistic tents and shelters, Moss Inc became a part of corporate America—an exemplary one.

“Featuring full-color photography (and a handful of vintage black-and-white photographs) on almost every page, Bill Moss: Fabric Artist & Designer is a coffee table book showcase of the life’s work of Bill Moss, fabric architect extraordinaire and inventor of the Pop tent. His company of Moss, Inc. earned a reputation for being socially responsible well before it was trendy to do so, and his unique touch inspired successive generations of artists. “‘Bill held weekly classes for apprentices in a structure called the Optimum... In the first class each apprentice was given a 2-foot square of muslin and was told to cut a curve in each side. With four small stakes and some string the student was to create a freestanding structure. A high wind that night tested all the structures. The next morning showed which ones had been tensioned correctly to withstand the blow.’” A superb addition to artbook collections specializing in architectural or three-dimensional media, Bill Moss: Fabric Artist & Designer is a delight to browse, and highly recommended.

““This is a stunningly beautiful book, both in its contents and design...The most striking part of the book is in the photographs of Bill Moss’s fabric designs...It’s the photography that dominates the book, but the elegant writing never detracts.””
