Summary: 'Don't agree; book just fine!
Comment: Unlike the first two reviewers of this book on Amazon, I really enjoy it and - as is rare with me - I actually purchased an excellent used copy via eBay for my personal collection. I borrow literally constantly from the libraries and am forever browsing in libraries and book stores to get my book "fixes;" actually purchasing is not common for me and I considered this book a special gift. I am familiar with most of the "Chic Simple" series and find this particular entry IS up to snuff.
Yes, it's one of the most general, but what would one expect with the word "clothes" in the title? The point is this is the one book of the series one can browse through or consult when one does want the general - for male or female, dress or casual, principal clothing or accessory, etc. Since classic clothing/accessories are emphasized, as well as unisex, the book ages well. No, nothing really all-encompassing here or fully comprehensive; there are plenty of other sources easily available for those purposes. But we have here a tasteful, knowledgeable, and highly entertaining treatise to serve various reference-source purposes with the usual wonderful illustrations one has come to expect from the "Chic Simple" series in general. As a personal aside, the classic duffle (or, duffel) coat photograph here is the most enticing photo of one I am aware of, of one of my favorite articles of clothing. I see it's a Brooks Brothers. . . Bravo!

Summary: Save your money.
Comment: The information is spread too thinly. There aren't many pictures of clothes, compared with the other CS books. Lastly, you'll be disapointed if your own the other CS editions because they copied many photographs from this one. I'm donating mine to a library.
Rating: 1
Summary: Not worth it
Comment: I bought this book but the other Chic Simple wardrobe books are better. This edition outlines too many things to be of much use: fashion trends over the eyars, clothes for sports, women, men and children. Unfocused.
