Review: Flip through book - Interesting book with great pics but not academic Review: Brilliant book - I love this book. Just purchased recently so not read it yet but the pictures are fabulous and inspiring for my sewing projects. Large format and just a big heavy lovely book but not your typical 'coffee table' book. This deserves to be well loved and poured through.
