Reviews
This book is an excellent and detailed source on costumes through the ages. Not sure why the others reviews are a bit harsh on it, but I am more than pleased. I don't find it so awful in that it lacks bunches of colorful prints- heck, if all the drawings were colorized this book would be a very expensive resource.I'm a simple person, and I'm very pleased with the entire book.
