Can you send out the titles and ISBN numbers for these books? I teach as
well, and could really use a good text, sounds like this would be very much
in keeping with how I teach costume history...the what/why sort of thing.

Sylrog,
I too studied with Prof. Russell, just a very few years before he passed
away. I love his book and use it as an additional reference in my costume
history class. I use the book chosen by my department as our primary book,
but the Russell text does so much more to make the connections between what
people wore and why they wore it. Studying costume history with Prof.
Russell and his book did so much to spark my interest in history in
general.
FWIW.

I know we've discussed this before, but not in terms of cost. I will
be teaching a costume history class at a community college next
semester and would like to order textbooks for the students to buy.
Cost is really a factor at community colleges, so I was wondering if
any of you could recommend a good reasonably priced text. Has anyone
used Doug Russell's book before? He was one of my first costume profs
and I loved the way he taught. I have 2 of the books he wrote and am
tempted to use one of them, as I like it and think it might be less
expensive than some others, but I thought I'd get your opinions.
