This is a great book for people who wear scarves and dont how ...By Jay TThis is a great book for people who wear scarves and dont how to arrange them and I dont. I recommend this book. it was just what I was looking for.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Too OutdatedBy Patti Mthis is a tiny little paperback in black and white. the styles are very old and not for current times. I would not recommend this unless as the one picture shows you want to take a large scarf. tie it around your chest. then bring it down and pull it through your legs and pull the ends forward to make a strange looking style summer outfit. SO very OUTdated. thank goodness I only bought one. it has a few scarf ties for your neck. body wraps and other designs. If you are looking for current trends this is NOT the book to get.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One StarBy MCVery old edition. from the 1980s
