[Susan Tan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Boring narration that I stopped reading after first 10 pages and I dislike every photo chosen in every page. No inspiration.

Good

Even though it is now dated (the book is from the late 80's, I believe), it is still a great chronicler of men's fashion, as well as the 'types' of men represented, i.e. jocks, nerds, dandies, etc.
Beautiful photographs.
