Це хороший подарунок для шанувальників моди і сумочок. Альбом зроблений стильно, тексту небагато але він дає коротенькі екскурси у підтеми, наочно через систему 5 зірочок показує орієнтовну вартість наведених експонатів що буде цікаво для людей які цікавляться колекціонуванням. Наприкінці наведені коротенькі поради щодо купівлі вінтажних/антикварних сумок в інтернеті і список музеїв з колекціями.
З невеличких недоліків можна назвати хіба певну американо-центричність представлених торбинок і зашироке, як на мій смак, знайомство з сумочками з люциту (можливо вони були дуже модними в США тому їх так і освітили).
Це було цікаво і стильно, спонукало цікавитися темою далі.

Amazingly interesting book - really interesting about where the handbag came from and how it has evolved.
