Even the captions on the pictures are English and Italian. The only drawback on the book is no index. Monica
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marie Stewart Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 8:04 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Moda a Firenze arrived Pretty much the subject line says it all. My copy arrived yesterday. Funny story, and no cause for alarm... I immediately flipped through it and it is stunning. I sat down and opened it to the introduction and started to read the Italian... I had thought it was supposed to be in English but, ah well. I know enough to get the gist of things without a dictionary... so I slogged through the Preface. And as I sat there debating the meaning of a phrase my husband came in and asked what I was reading. With excitement I showed him my spiffy new book, and mentioned that my Italian was just a bit too rusty to really get the exact meaning without my dictionary... so I went to the shelf to fetch it while husband perused the book. He was smirking when I came back, and took the dictionary as I returned to the couch. He handed me the book - open to the first page, and said "I don't think you'll be needing this" as he took the dictionary. "Wha????" And then I saw that the text is indeed in English side by side with the Italian... just not in the Preface. D'oh. But I'm loving it.
