3.0 out of 5 stars A good guide for the beginner, July 25, 2000

By A Customer

This book is a great introduction to the world of vintage clothing. It includes the basics of collecting clothing from 1850 through the 1970's. The information is nicely organized and is easy to find. Advanced collectors, however, probably will not find any new information in this small book.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad for the price, April 24, 2000

By A Customer

Book has nice glossary of vintage fabrics and desriptions. Covers a wide range of designers and there history. The book is on the right track ,but it's only 120 pages and could use a bit more info.

By	junkgalore.com (Mentone, AL 35984) - See all my reviews

As the backcover states, Instant Expert:Everything you need to know- it is all here in a quick little reference guide. If you want summarized information that is concise and easy to read, this is the book. A great little resource for the novice who just wants a little help with the basics.
