That's exactly what I loved about studying costume history with
Professor Russell. He really brought it to life by making those
connections and putting it into perspective. I've never had another
teacher who did that. I want to try to do that with the class I'm
going to teach, but I feel I need to study so much history first in
order to get to his level.
So what book is your primary book?

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.

Subject: [h-cost] Costume history text
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.
