Clerical Vestments: Ceremonial Dress of the Church (Shire Library) Paperback – June 18, 2013

I think I was expecting a more comprehensive treatment in this book. But what I found was clearly an overview of vestments, their make and makers. Still for what it is it is an excellent overview.

I needed an approachable introduction to clerical vestments and this book did the trick. I very Highly recommend this book.

Good solid basic explanation of all kinds of vestments. Makes a good first book to start learning about a beautiful art.

nteresting but not as comprehensive as I had expected.

The book may be "tiny", but it is huge in its information value. Ms. Bailey has given enough information, concise and to the point that when doing research you know more exactly where to look. The photographs are so very clear they enable you see detail without strain. Marvelous little introductory to clerical vestments. I am very happy I purchased it.

Wonderful history with great photos.

A wonderful, informative book. Written in an interesting way with lovely photographs and comic inserts. Will be buying more copies.

This book is ideal for "Church Recording" A very useful and informative book. Delivery was very quick. Thank you

Concise, but well written with a good mix of photos / illustrations.

Had some help to describe pictures

Very comprehensive booklet about the history of vestments leading to the present day. Well represented with photographs. Easy to follow.
