1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing! Merely a miniature decorative book, March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Scarves (Chic Simple) (Chic Simple Components) (Hardcover)

This book merely provided a pictorial overview of different kinds of scarves. Some of the photos were lovely, and the book is attractive, although since it is only slightly larger than a deck of cards it doesn't offer much in the way of a coffee table book. The book also does not explain to the reader how to style the scarves in the fashions illustrated, and also is not particularly comprehensive. Useful if you need laundry instructions for your scarf collection.

2.0 out of 5 stars A nice book to leaf through..., December 20, 2003

....but not quite worth full price.

There's not much to this book. The quotes and historical tidbits are interesting, to be sure, and the pictures are rather lovely. The laundry tips are nice, and the author does give a few more uses for scarves than I would have thought of, but there's nothing in here that you can't find elsewhere, for much less.

My advice is to get it at the library, take down what information you need at home -there's not much- and spend the money you saved on a scarf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute little book with some lovely pictures, April 3, 2011

This review is from: Chic Simple: Scarves Hb (Hardcover)

Don't discount this book - it's nicely produced (good pictures) and would make a lovely gift for a scarf-wearing friend. It's more of a starting point or inspiration than a guide. It doesn't tell you 'how to wear scarves' exactly, but there are lots of ideas. Also some nice scarf-related quotes and little snippets of scarf history and trivia.
As the other reviewers have said, there's a good section of caring for your scarves too. All in all I think it's a book that's worth buying if you enjoy scarves!
