I think this would be good for people who enjoy costume histories, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Note: this book covers only British underwear. (  ) meggyweg | Mar 6, 2009 |  Some good information. I only read the medieval section, since that's where my interests lie. ( ) sprowett | May 28, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
