4.0 out of 5 stars Fun!, July 27, 1999

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 Beautiful pictures of beautiful ties!, April 12, 2002

By	K. Howe "mother of girls" (Georgia) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little picture book, June 30, 2000

By A Customer

This is a charming, but ultimately shallow, book. It's something I like to look at when I'm looking for inspiration on vintge style, but there's not much context here. I'd love a bit of socio-history to give it some substance.
