Between confusing my tracking information for another order (making me think my package had been delivered states away), my book having completely different cover art than the image used in the eBay listing, my book not being packed well and suffering some damage, as well as the other shady behavior listed in other reviews (like my book coming from Amazon and the seller immediately jacking up the price of the original listing after my purchase), I'd say this is a shady seller to entirely avoid.

Book was as described. Charged a lot for shipping and never gave any tracking information. Also, this book was sold to me before they had it in hand apparently. A packing slip for Amazon was found with a cheaper price and later date than when I bought the book.

This seller sent the wrong item by accident so as a good seller DID make a 100% full refund due to the fact that UPS wanted $28.00 to just pick up this Item to return it.. and the Item only cost $16.98 To purchase it. The seller DID THE RIGHT THING FOR THE BUYER..ME... and I thank and commend this seller. 5 star seller

  • Euro centric clothing

    it's not really a complete history of fashion, though it is very good for European styles. It has both male and female garb but lacks Most Asian clothing. There is mention of a modern Japanese designer but not really ancient Japanese wear. India and China are only mentioned in the appendix. Same with African clothes.

  • A lavish Look at Fashion Through Time

    Complete and comprehensive in a beautifully illustrated and lavish presentation. More than just fashion illustration but rather an examination of how history and culture was influential in the evolution of style. A thorough look at western design. The only negatives are that modern era clothing is limited to runway styles and there is little on other cultures.
