I enjoy researching vintage clothing, specifically garments and accessories from the mid to late 19th century, and learning how people lived and how their clothing was used. Why did a certain style appeal, or why certain colors were popular. This book's focus is pretty narrow, speaking specifically about people and clothing in Texas, but I felt it gave a pretty good overview of rural people from around the US since most of the people that lived in Texas that it refers to are transplanted from other states, all sharing a similar rural background. If you have an interesting in textiles and clothing from centuries past, this may very well be worth buying. And Ebay is certainly the place to get the books you are searching for.
