I don't think so.  It's a reasonably quick read, and while it doesn't go into exhaustive detail, that's not really the book's intent.  It's for mass consumption by normal people, not a scholarly treatise for fashion historians.  I'm not sure narrowing the focus and increasing the depth of detail would make for a better book.

I have the Kindle version, too.  Just a quick warning- it has some minor formatting issues; nothing really serious, but mildly annoying.

Gotta love the near instant gratification of Amazon Prime:

Sounds like it's not about clothes though:

I got a copy of The Republic of Thieves signed by Scott Lynch. I need to get around to reading it, as it ended up in boxes before I got through it.

I really enjoyed The Lies of Locke Lamora, which was the first book in the series. If you haven't read it, and are into your fantasy epics, then it's worth a look.

The Gentleman Bastard series is pretty damn entertaining. I didn't love The Lies Of Locke Lamorra, mostly for a couple of stylistic quirks by Lynch.  The subsequent two books, on the other hand, I liked much more.

This reminds me that I've gotta stop reading unfinished, still in progress series.  Waiting for the next book always sucks.  Looking at you in particular, Patrick Rothfuss…

Tell me about it. It's like he's having the opposite of a race with George R. R. Martin.

Is he really wearing Pike Brothers on the cover?

^ Don't judge a book by its cover

Yup…..

I take it you liked the book @Giles ?

I was apprehensive and took a little persuading to be involved, but I think that they have done a bloody good job with it….

Bought this in Vancouver for about $5 Canadian (out of print) and although I don't read French the pics and bits I get are very cool. I'm a big fan of Hudson's Bay blankets so I am very excited to have this book.

@michaeljcr:

Of course, what you all really need is a bit of this:

Muskets, magic and mayhem…

Been meaning to thank @michaeljcr for this recommendation for years.  The fourth book in the series, The Guns Of Empire just came out, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it as much as I did the first three.
