It's weird but good, Oct 6 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Banana Republic Guide to Travel & Safari Clothing (Hardcover)
This book was a catalog of clothing sold back in the 80's during the "Indiana Jones" rage. The store's owners were journalists who found clothes that would travel, and then romanticized the clothing in drawings and stories. Part of the fun is discovering these clothes in thrift stores today.
