MISCELLANY |
In my library, you can find books that I have perused and/or own (so that can tell you about their strengths and weaknesses) as well as books that have been recommended to me, or that caught my attention in a library catalogue, but which I've never read. Not every book in this list is good! The critiques I have enclosed reflect my personal opinion of them.
Within each section, books are sorted by the author's last name or by era first, then by author.
My Library Subsections: (by subject) Patterns and Construction Information usually covering multiple eras General History of Costume grouped by era Textile Design and Ethnic Costume fabrics, embroidery etc; Asian and Bavarian Sociology of Fashion and Clothing on the social "meaning" of clothing Costume Flicks historical dramas More books are listed on the Sources page, but those are, for the most part, antiquarian, at public libraries, or not directly related to costume. |
*) Please note that if you order a book, your business partner will be amazon, not I. All responsibility for availability, delivery and quality is with amazon - please contact them in case of questions.
MORE FINE PRINT: The comments and ratings reflect my personal opinion of the book in question, based on the edition that I own, have borrowed from the library or simply thumbed through. If you order a book, you may get a different edition with more or less different properties. I can't take any responsibility for that, of course. Same goes for the thumbnail images of the cover: Yours may be different.
