5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a calendar......, February 22, 2007

By	fatal_degree (Michigan) - See all my reviews

I have this whole series of calendars. And I can tell you, I have NEVER used them to keep track of the days. They are wealth of information and pictures, for historical costuming and collecting. I reference them often. They are filled with short but concise descriptions of the items featured. The photos, aren't limited to just the facing page each month either. There are pictures and descriptions covering the gridded "calendar" area and margins as well. If you love full color layouts of antique clothing and accessories, you'll love almost all the calendars by this author. And if you haven't had enough just looking at the pictures, the museums that own the pieces are listed. So you can go visit them.
