5.0 out of 5 stars LV Icons, August 16, 2009

By	Teresa Lahne "Chanel Lover" (Brisbane Qld AUS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a very welcome addition to the others I have in the series. I knew what to expect as this series of books by Assouline can not be faulted. It is not an in depth view of the LV iconic stable but an enjoyable read even so. Great little coffee table book. Would highly recommend.

2.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed, January 29, 2009

By	K. Pope (Cleveland, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a disappointed with this book. There are some nice pictures but the stories are few and far between. Maybe, I can cut the book apart and frame some of the photos and hang them on my wall....
