This is a besautiful rendition of Racinet's classic work. It is an oversize book, which means there is plenty of room for the illustrations. I cannot recommend it enough if you have an interest in costume at all. Notice it is called the Historical Encyclopedia of Costume. Otehr editions simply call it History of costume or similar. I cannot speak of the quality of those books. As a dance teacher of European fok dance costumes naturally affect the way we move and thus is of interest to any serios about researching their field of study. A comprehensive coverage of costume.
