Apparel Arts book

1800$ Madness. Somewhere I posted links to digital copies for inspiration. But Xmas is coming so someone may need this under their tree, but not me. Rgds

I would regard this as too old to worry about.  Unless you are into historicals or costuming.

Nice! But the price

  Yes, going broke.

I had a friend once who rang an Auction house and offered $500 on top of their best offer for a rare book.  He got it for $1500. He made quite a bit of money from the classes he taught out of it.

Ditto the price, but collectors go mad sometimes. My neighbor has a red 1962 283 corvette convertible for 81k$US is anyone is interested. Even has the hardtop, matching numbers. Could drive to pick up the book for under 85K. What'a deal.. And with the end of COP 28 and call for zero oil, one could relive the old rush song red barchetta..
