Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great for costume references!
This book is great, we are using it to correctly dress some of our program participants for a function wehave coming up.
Rating: - Aysegul Gungor
This is a very useful book for Art and Design classes. I used it in my design homework and my teacher really liked my new design which I was impressed by the Greek costumes in this book. Aysegul (12 years)
Rating:  - not bad but could be better
The language is a bit weird, like that of the 18th or 19th century European travellers. The information is sufficient but is not as academic as one would expect, if you are looking for a scholarly source.
However, the visual part (pictures, figures) is very extensive and helpful.
Rating: - Quality for a low price!
This is one of the best books on the subject. Every costume, theatrical and visual artist will find this book to be an excellent resource of the period. The illustrations are clear, and beautifully rendered.
Rating: - Excellent resource for teachers of classics and history
The book contains a huge variety of classical drawings which teachers and students can use for fun and enlightenment. Any of the illustrations can be copied on reports, projects, tests or quizzes. They can be enlarged too. You can get a great deal of use from this inexpensive treasure.
