This review is from: Fashionable Clothing from the Sears Catalogs: Early 1960s (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)

A good accurate reference book showing several actual pages from the Sears Catalog. There are sections on Women's, men's & children's clothing the emphasis being on women.
The only complaint would be that there is not enough, I would have preferred more photos showing a wider range though it is still a very usual book for anyone interested in this time period.
