DESCRIPTION:
Really nice, a few errors though Forrest It arrived in perfect condition. The photos are beautiful and inspiring and the quality of the pages are great. Each page has an inspiring quote that comes with the day. I go through it every morning for a little energy boost. The only issue is that there are a few errors in the book. What's cool about this book is that it lists the birthdays of fashion icons for each day. What isn't cool is that I've already found two errors in the birthdays and I've only had it for a week (just to name a couple: Isabel Toledo and Grace Coddington were placed on the wrong dates.) So that was a huge bummer because there are probably more . Even fun for the fashion illiterate! I am far from a fashionista. I shop mostly at my local Good Will stores, I still enjoyed this page a day book. I may not be up on my designers but the vintage ads and crisp photography are equally compelling. The quotes from fashion notables are not really my cup of tea but even some of those are fun. Even I, a fashion bumpkin learned a lot simply by having this book around.. Just ADs, no other content Cute Coffee table book collection of advertisements.I wish this book had more to offer in the way of informative articles or some sort of content pertaining to the brands and the times. This is strictly a collection of advertisements, there is no written commentary.
