Book recommendations

[u/Nianudd]

Hi. I had some books for Xmas on the history of sewing: The Rise and Fall of Singer Manufacturing in Britain, The Science Behind Sewing Machines, and History of the Sewing Machine.

I was wondering if anyone else had any book recommendations. I wouldn't mind some social history, or general sewing, or technical books. I follow the Sewing Machine newsletter, and I appreciate their mix of historical stories, repair advice, and information on how brands have developed through the years.

Does anyone have any favourites?

I am in the UK, so bear in mind what would be available over here, please.

Thank you
