Well, didn't I get a nice giftie...

At our little gift exchange last night, I pulled my gift out of the bag, and it was this book. I was very impressed, I must say. Very big and lots of pretty pictures. Also many stripey things in the 18thc section. *glee*

(I did end up getting M. The Duchess on DVD, and she seemed pleased. I also wickedly bought it for myself while I was on Amazon buying my books.)

I have a very tiny abridged version of that book, though I've drooled over the two-book version. So many pretties....

That's one of the very first costume books I ever owned.

Oooooooh I have that book! LOL, the people at the library told me to check it out. (They know me too well.) I checked it out and then the next day took it back -- then went home and grabbed it on Amazon! I knew I'd rack up fines trying to keep it and ogle it whenever I wanted.

My only criticism? The 18th century section is too small. :P
