1.0 out of 5 stars If you can't sleep..., March 22, 2000

By 

Megan (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside the Fashion Business (6th Edition) (Hardcover)

Besides being completely out of date (they think online retailing might be an up and coming thing), it lacks any functional organization of material. The information presented is irrelevant, and repetitive. The only thing I would recommend this book for is for falling asleep.
