Folk Costumes of the World

Rating:
Summary: Very Helpful with many facts about costumes
Review: This book is very helpful for getting basic details of folk and dance costumes from throughout the world. There are colored sketches of most costumes, but a few more would be helpful. They describe many things that are not illustrated, yet sometimes illustrate items for which there are scant descriptions. Unfortunamtely, however, there are no costumes from most of Africa. This is a serious omission for a book claiming to cover world costume.
