Recenzii
An absolutely absorbing resource ... I never tired of discovering many of the numerous and fascinating facts, contained within. It was a joy!
This work is arguably the new benchmark in its field ... the set is magnificent ... Essential for larger public libraries and academic institutions; appropriate for students of cultural, social, artistic, and anthropological studies. [starred status]
This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in fashion and dress but particularly useful for students in anthropology, art history, cultural studies, museum studies, and, or course, fashion and textiles. It is recommended for undergraduate and graduate institutions with majors in these areas plus large public libraries. [starred status]
Its clever global organisation and near flawless presentation make it less at home in an old library and more shown off in open plan furniture. A must for the man who has everything!
2009 Library Journal Reference Supplement 'Editor's Pick' for New & Forthcoming Reference
After more than five years of meticulous fieldwork, extensive travel, writing, and more writing, [Eicher's] team produced a document that gives every corner of the globe equal scholarly representation. The encyclopedia is a brilliant resource ... more comprehensive than any history of dress or study of fashion on the shelf. It was created to be a record - the fairest of them all.
It is hard to avoid the use of superlatives in reviewing this ambitious, erudite and authoritative series. Taking dress, fashion and (implicitly) the textiles and other materials that have adorned cross-cultural bodies throughout history as its themes, this ten-volume publication (with 6000 pages and 200 images) provides an extraordinary and rigorous contribution, not only to these, but a breadth of related disciplines.
[A] must-read.
