Yes, I am familiar with Corson's book. However, I believe it's out of print. It's certainly hard to find; after prowling the Internet for awhile I managed to score a copy for $75 USD. That's why I didn't recommend it first to the lady who started this thread. > He > covers hair styles from almost pre-history through most of the twentieth > Century.

You are quite right, Kathleen. Corson's book is my basic reference for hairstyles though it's not cheap to obtain. My bet is that it'd be easy enough to find via ILL though. Corson also did a book on the history of makeup which I will eventually track down, time and cost permitting. :-) -- 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
