Ann,
The newer addition is a lot better. In my class I just refer to certain
pages in the book. My class starts in 1840 and ends at 1970. Those sections
are good in the book for an overview. I just remembered that I bought the
book used on Amazon not eBay. My book was used and was in perfect
condition. When I was a student, I used my book for three costume history
classes. So I got my money out of it.

Found this book. Its rather expensive, and it doesnt say much about the
book.
Do any here know it?
This is one of the standard history of costume texts used here in the
U.S.
I haven't seen the latest edition--I have the last one. It is just that,
a
very general survey. I'm not sure, Bjarne, whether you would find it
very
useful. I would say that, if you do not have any of the general survey
books,
you ought to have at least one. How expensive is it?
