3.0 out of 5 stars Just cute!, January 9, 2007
My expectations were not fulfilled in terms of quality information. With a poetic mood you will find some vague and brief descriptions of different types of lingerie.
However, the photographs are really good, has a lovely cover and in the end is a cute little book that looks great in you nightable!

It's tiny and has beautiful images. Nothing spectacular but it's a good quality little book about lingerie.

3.0 out of 5 stars a nice little book, May 12, 2008
It is a nice little book. Good as a gift. It doesn't contain that much useful information, but creates a mood. For someone who enoys and appreciates beautiful and impractical things.
