Despite coming out in 2007, Beckham’s book is still surprisingly relevant and readable. Most of these style books are fluff pieces but That Extra Half Inch actually contains some useful information. It is UK-centric but I ordered a few products she recommends. It’s a fun and breezy read. ( ) This reads like an advertisement for Victoria Beckham (the fashion spreads are mostly of her) and her favorite UK stores. Not entirely helpful to a U.S. girl with an entirely different body-type. However, the language is breezy and conversational (as she says, "I'm a girls' girl") and the spirit of the book is uplifting in all senses. (AG, 12/23/09) While Beckham (or at least her ghost writer) writes with a nice touch, this book is only going to be of interest to two groups - hard-core fashionistas or clueless wannabe fashionistas. There is nothing new in this book, other than Beckham's less-than-subtle attempts to draw attention to her own fashion/perfume/jewellery lines. That said, this is not a bad book - it is humourous where so many other 'style guides' are too serious for their own good. And the illustrations, especially the drawn ones, are gorgeous. no reviews | add a review
