I looked through it in a bookstore once. Fewer illustrations than I'd like, and very un-informative text. Moreover, I don't think it had any pictures whatsoever of Roman period styles. Don't waste your money. If you want pictures of Roman ladies' hair styles, there's a nice little section in A.T. Croom's "Roman Clothing and Fashion," which is still in print and not too expensive (I think it runs about $35 USD). -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Physics is like sex; sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."--Richard Feynman _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
