Apparently it hasn't been released yet. But for the most comprehensive
information, go to the Interweave Press website.

" Product Description
Mixing the versatility of paper with the dimensional qualities of cloth,
this inventive handbook to crafting with “paper-cloth” provides
mixed-media artists with the knowledge to easily transform their works
into collaged quilts using embellishment techniques, such as painting,
stitching, needlefelting, and beading. Though the technique is
inexpensive and requires less space, equipment, and skill than dyeing
fabrics for quilt making, readers will learn step-by-step how the use of
paper-cloth—from making the paper-cloth itself; adding color and
interest to the foundation with inks, stains, paints, and glazes;
texturizing; implementing printmaking techniques; and more—can allow
layers of complexity and textural appeal. Common projects include art
quilts, art dolls, jewelry, and artist books. Perfect for artists
interested in altered art, found and recycled art, needle felting, and
nontraditional elements, this original resource is the first to cross
the paper and cloth mediums.
About the Author

Bruce's post, which included the publisher's information about the book,
says the book includes instructions on how to make paper cloth. I haven't
seen the book, since it isn't released, but perhaps what is talked about is
something like this: http://www.ehow.com/how_2067053_make-cloth-paper.html
