Medieval Clothing and Costumes: Displaying Wealth and Class in Medieval Times (The Library of the Middle Ages) Library Binding – August 1, 2003

For $30 I expected more. I expected a highly detailed very academic book with tons of pictures. Instead I got a tiny little thin book with huge type that seems to be geared toward an audience that is about 12 years old. This book would lend itself well to being read out-loud to a group of 6th graders.Ms. Scott does include some interesting details and a great bibliography but this is not the finely tuned, dense academic work I'd been expecting.If your looking for a 'nice' fluffy intro book to medieval dress this book might fit the bill. If you're looking for a real resource for medieval recreation.. keep looking.

Very basic but informative
