Book Reviews of ABC of Men's Fashion
Book Review: Pleasant surprise - good things come in small packages!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is wonderful. It's quite small in size, but packed with witty information. I didn't realize it was a reprint of a book originally published in the '60's, but as you read, it makes sense. It's a perfect book for someone who is interested in the finer and more traditional aspects of men's fashion.
