A Very Good Reference Book.., Jun 4 2001
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Costume And Fashion: From 1066 to the Present (Hardcover)
I just recommended this book to a friend who wanted depictions of clothes from 1650-1700. It really is a very good timeline of fashion. Also,the drawings are very colorful and full of detail. A worthwhile investment for anyone who's interested in costuming or European history.

The author is an unoriginal, untalented illustator & writer, Jan 21 2000
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Costume And Fashion: From 1066 to the Present (Hardcover)
This is an absolutely pathetic book. The illustrator/author merely copied famous works of art from the Reniassance period. Wait, I shouldn't say copied: He made weak attempts at the imitation of these masterpieces. Could he not come up with something slightly original in text and drawing? Please save your money.

...not the best one, Jun 1 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Costume And Fashion: From 1066 to the Present (Hardcover)
This book has really nice pictures at all but after learning so much about the history of costume at university I was really unsatisfied with this book. It could have been more structure in it, too.
