Vintage Shoes Paperback – March 29, 2011

This book is visually beautiful with lots of beautiful photos showing different and pretty shoes from different decades. The text is concise but highly informative with lots of details about the different designers and their sources of inspiration. Same as the other books in this series, there is a decade by decade summary showing the most significant trends prevailing through each era. This book is very well put together and perfectly compliments the rest of the vintage series including fashion, jewelry, and handbags, all of them are highly recommended addition to any fashion collection.

This book is full of valuable information, if you don't go blind trying to read it. I have 20/20 vision and I have to use a magnifying glass in some parts of the book. It's like the printer was running out of ink. In photo captions, which give information about the shoes that are pictured, the print is light gray on white. Not too easy to read. To make matters worse, it's printed in font size 8. Most books use 10 or 12. I like the book, but it could be netter. One last thing; I don't know if it's just my copy or if they are all this way, but the binding is not very good. Two pages have come loose so far, and I've had to tape them back in.

What a beautiful book inside and out. Gorgeous to leave out on a coffee table.

Very good

Beschäftige mich intensiv mit Mode und Schönheit, daher mußte ich dieses Buch einfach haben. Man kann wunderbar drin stöbern, Looks andenken, sich Schuhe nachmachen lassen und erfährt nebenbei auch noch, woher manche Formen und Bezeichnungen kommen.
