Judy Florence's Aprons Of The Mid-20th Century is a dazzling, informative, and versatile book; every page features gorgeous color photographs of countless different types of aprons, as well as concise information about their creation and patterns. Intended to benefit both apron designers and apron collectors, Aprons Of The Mid-20th Century also features a price guide and a brief, historical overview of the garment's role at the time. Aprons Of The Mid-20th Century is an invaluable reference guide for collectors, as well as being enthusiastically recommended for everyone with an interest in the story of aprons as popular culture symbols of housekeeping and domestic bliss.

This is a lovely and well set out publication. The photos are good quality and there are a heap of good ideas (not patterns) for apron making. Some lovely old worlde charm type illustrations are included and that is why this is a feel good, warm and fuzzy type of book....you will not be disappointed with it.

Nice book with many photographs. Again,another good book on textiles from the past and history of the apron. A book that housewives,moms,and grandmothers will enjoy. Would make an excellent gift!

Pictures are just ok, but don't waste your money on this. Many websites and books show better pictures and patterns. This was awful.
