What I love about this book is that it fills a hole that is such an issue for those who love vintage or antique clothing: it goes into the actual realities of owning the clothes. Most vintage shoppers start out knowing they love an era but stumble along the way when it comes to actually owning the clothes. Issues such as choosing the right item for the right price, how to care for that item once it has been bought, and where to find the proper accessories are all covered neatly.

Cute and helpful. This book was my primer on vintage shopping. I put what I learned into practice during my first vintage shopping trip a couple of weeks ago. It was easy to read and will also be a useful reference in the future.
Excellent vintage shopping resource for tips, advice, and inspiration for the hunt.
