New Book Review: Out-of-Style at Moultrie Creek Books
Here is a new review of my book at Moultrie Creek Books found at http://moultriecreek.us/books/review-...
The review starts with:
"Although I’m looking at this book from a genealogy perspective – as a reference to help me date old family photos – I’ve also found it a fascinating look at the fashion fads of years gone by. It’s an amazing reference, offering beautifully drawn illustrations combined with a running commentary describing how small differences in the shape of a sleeve or length of a hem can pinpoint a photograph to within a year or two. It begins in the 1830's and continues into the 1960's. [Thank you, Betty, for not forcing us to take another look at the leisure suit.]"
