STPM Press, New York.
- This book contains a section on fiber theory, which goes over classifications
of fibers and conversion between denier and tex. It discusses important terms

Wira, Leeds.
-
This book focuses on wool fibers but it does contain a
table (pp. A24-A25) that gives fiber strength properties including fiber

- These books give key information that relates fiber terminology to terms
that we are used to. They are very useful in determining relationships between
desired stress on an object and equivalent fiber strength.
