4.0 out of 5 stars Fun!, July 27, 1999
This review is from: Fit to Be Tied: Vintage Ties of the Forties and Early Fifties (Recollectibles) (Hardcover)
Well, if you're into ties, this is a great book! Not only it is fun to look at, but it serves as a useful guide for dating and categorizing old ties. This book has quite a bit of good info, as well, especially about labels and designers. Worth a look!

4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage ties, December 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fit to Be Tied: Vintage Ties of the Forties and Early Fifties (Recollectibles) (Hardcover)
Fine book. Great pictures. Regarding the supra comment on valuation. No way you can value a tie due to the huge selection. A Vintge store may charge $90 and E-Bay may toss it for $5.00.

Considering a Brioni boring tie is $200 plus 8.25% in CA who cares what i pay.

I prefer Goodwill for most of my ties. A woman with taste buys the wild tie. The conservative man or one who works where he must dress mild gives it to Goodwill or the Salvation Army for the tax deduction. $3.25 with no tax beats any store.

This book has the pictures and some info. If you find one published you can note it and resell for much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures of beautiful ties!, April 12, 2002
By 
This review is from: Fit to Be Tied: Vintage Ties of the Forties and Early Fifties (Recollectibles) (Hardcover)
If you are a collector this may interest you. The book is primarily photographs of beautiful collectible ties. There is some history of the tie and labels to look for. All in all is is a pretty book. I had hoped for more information on values but was disappointed in that respect.
