“Dress Like a Woman: Working Women and What They Wore” is a pleasant little coffee table book that features full-page, full color shots of women throughout history doing what they do best – gettin’ shit done. The book isn’t really organized in a clear way or tells a cohesive story but the photos are interesting enough. Aside from the foreward by Roxanne Gay, this didn’t really leave a big impression on me.

This small format book is like those articles in magazines like Glamour or Mademoiselle about style. It shows the various types of jewelry, the best seasons to wear it in, and the best clothing to wear with the different styles. Line drawings that are almost vintage feeling show each example. Would be a good stocking stuffer for an early teen who likes Seventeen. I didn’t learn anything from in (other than that diamonds can be cut in a shape called ‘trillient’) but it would be great show more for a young girl. show less

A fabulous collection of photos from the January 2017 Woman's March. Almost as magnificent as the march itself.... almost.

Survey of tourist accommodations in Barcelona. Each neighborhood of the city gets a chapter. Lots of pretty pictures of hotel interiors. Might be useful for someone planning a trip, but it's primarily a coffee table book.
