reason #5,898 why I like Google book Search: I just discovered an remarkable book. It’s fashion as well as costume in American prominent Culture, as well as it’s explained as:
Providing a practical as well as unique look at fashion as well as costume literature as well as exactly how it has established historically, this volume discusses monographic as well as recommendation literature as well as provides info on periodicals, research study centers, as well as costume museums as well as collections. It likewise provides a new method of looking at the literature with a database of 58 library of Congress subject headings. It covers topics from denim to wedding event gowns as well as features “popular” examples of exactly how garments is utilized as well as showed in our culture with the literature discussed. Of rate of interest to scholars, students, as well as anyone curious about the unique power garments holds in our lives. different kinds of recommendation sources are discussed including other guides to the literature, encyclopedia, dictionaries, biographical dictionaries, specialized bibliographies, as well as indexing as well as abstracting services. electronic CD-ROM as well as on the internet databases equivalents are included in the presentation of indexing as well as abstracting services with major networks such as OCLC, RLIN, Lexis/Nexis, as well as Dialog mentioned as well. In addition a listing of 123 research study centers, mainly libraries, is provided as well as arranged geographically by state, some 176 costume museums as well as collections of costumes found at colleges as well as universities are listed alphabetically, as well as a listing of 278 periodicals on fashion, costume, garments as well as associated topics is provided. A database of some 58 garments as well as accessory subject headings is analyzed in the Worldcat database with the literature of the top ten specific garments as well as accessory subject terms restricted to media publication style are covered. Additionally, histories of costume as well as fashion in the U.S. as well as works which concentrate on psychological, sociological or cultural elements are outlined. An appendix, including the garments as well as accessory database, as well as author as well as subject indexes wrap up the volume.
Holy moly, right? I like annotated bibliographies; as well as this seems fantastic — particularly the overview of garments as well as accessory subject headings (). The only drawback is the book is not illustrated (so the photo above, from Fashion-era.com, is only for eye-candy).
I discovered a copy for only $20, including shipping, as well as there were plenty more where that came from!
