I am sharing another book review that touches my heart. I don’t know if this book can make a difference to the readers’ profession or professional career. But after reading book reviews, I started believing it - readers will find value.

"Incidentally, not many books have been written about the process of garment manufacturing with a bird’s eye view. In most of the books available, only a part of the whole process is talked about, and that too, from an academician point of view! As a result, when students (after reading these books) reach the garment manufacturing shop floor, they are a lost soul as they cannot relate to the processes or even the terminologies as described in the books.I am grateful to all book reviewers.
In his book “Garment Manufacturing- Processes, Practices and Technology”, Prasanta Sarkar shows the courage of writing a book that is going to be helpful to the beginners joining the garment manufacturing industry in the truest sense!
First of all, he approaches with a bird’s eye view towards the shop floor, breaking it up conveniently as it actually happens in the industry. Secondly, he exhibits the common sense of using exactly the terminologies that are used in the shop floor.
Further, Prasanta’s style of writing using bullets and tables in the right proportions makes the book the best that I have come across when reading about the garment industry. Many would debate about the academic quality of the book since it really does not cite too much of so-called papers and researches related to this industry- but this is actually a compliment in disguise! We need to educate people about the how the industry actually works- not just about its theoretical model! In that respect, this book is a must read and also a must carry for a trained student entering the garment industry of India."
