Review: Five Stars - Excellent shape Review: A Little Fashion Book - Even though The Visual Dictionary is really small, I think that it is packed with alot of information. The only downfall is not knowing how to pronounce some of the words. I feel that the author should have done like what an actual dictionary does and tell you how to pronounce some of the words. Overall, for the price paid, I like the book.

The book itself is too small to really see stuff clearly. Good info though, just too physically small.

visual dictionary needs a magnifier
Pictures and some of info is useful but the book is so small you need a magnifying glass to read. Some info is very common, some could have had more detail. I now see why Amazon did not show details inside the book. Save your money.

This book is neat. I was shocked that the book was smaller than the average book but still a big help. Thanks

Too incomplete for a fashion dictionary!
I am a professional fashion designer, and I bought this dictionary to translate all the technical terminology from Italian to English. Unfortunately this book proved to be too incomplete. There are reported many useless terms instead of other much more important. Usually I find AVA Publishing books very interesting, but not this. I do not recommend to waist your money, because on-line there are many free fashion glossary much wider and well written.
