Beautiful! I love this book! I bought it mainly because I was doing a period piece in one of my classes and needed some refrence as to what people wore back in the 50s! I'm an avid fan of the era, so this is great insight to the bizzare ads (children's perm products, bermuda shorts with little hearts for men???!). "disappointing" according to pickyeditor. I love period advertising, and I love fashion, so this seemed like the perfect bookuntil I got it. The book was subtitled "Vintage Fashion and Beauty Ads", so that's what I expected. What I got was 95 pages of men's clothing -- tons of ads for ties and underwear -- 9 pages of children's clothing, and 70 pages of women's "fashion and beauty". There were more pages devoted to men's hair products than wom. BJ said Cool 50s Fasion Book. Cute little book from Taschen. If you love the 50s fashion then this book is for you.
