I've reported here before, but "The Mode in Costume" is what got me started, so I keep it on my shelf for sentimental reasons.?So to answer the original question,?I would keep Yarwood if I already had it, unless room is really, really an issue.? But I probably wouldn't buy it if I didn't already have it.

I have used it to check definitions a few times. I would not throw it-- sell it on eBay. Monica Monica E.
