I have several books that I (and others) consider to be not good - some of them (eg Kohler) come in handy for the photos if nothing else... But I do tend to find that they come in handy as a design source for modern clothes :o) In a message dated 23/02/2008 00:44:02 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I am the proud (?!?) owner of a copy of "Ancient Costumes Of Great Britain and Ireland", by Charles Hamilton Smith, originally published in 1814. Maybe this is the source of the "Druid sleeves" on half the costumes offered on eBay.... But it's a nice big book and does good duty as a lap desk. :-P I seem to be collecting Bad Books. I also have Peacock, and Kohler, and a couple of volumes of Norris....
