A Consumer's Guide to Vintage Clothing

This book is not only an informative title, but also an interesting and fun time. Terry talks to you like a fellow shopaholic who knows what she's doing. Of all my clothing books (about 20), this is the one a loaned to a friend. She even commented on how excellent it is. I'm now looking for a copy for her as it is out of print. The author goes into detail about the many aspects or vintage including collecting, care & cleaning, storage, buying & selling, and identifying eras. All the while, keeping you well entertained! The lack of photos is definetly not missed for it's text is all inclusive. For a body of work written over 10 years ago (1987), this book is a timeless classic. It's also an easy read, for those of you who might not have the time. Most informative and highly recommended! I write a monthly column on vintage clothing for New York City Antique News and refer to this book constantly. Need more info? Write me at [email protected]. I'd be happy to recommend more books on this and other related subjects. Find it, buy it, and enjoy! Stacy L.
