Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition); as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits; maps; sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images; so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts; we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Layout is bad; narrative is shallow (but does include important information) and printing is large; filling pages that should have images of her greatest achievements. There was no final proofreading so it is filled with typos. I appreciate the wealth of information but I think the entire book should be reworked. Dont believe the reviews from the fashion business; as it is a self-promoting industry with little substance. I know very little about the designs of Edith Head and I would like to learn.I love Edith Heads designs in A Foreign Affair; The Heiress; Carrie; Witness for the Prosecution; The Lady Eve; Ball of Fire; Double Indemnity; Notorious; A Place in the Sun; Rear Window; Vertigo; Roman Holiday; To Catch a Thief; The Birds; Marnie; Sylvia; Sweet Charity; The Sting.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Oh how I wish she were still aliveBy Girl for Animal LiberationThe woman behind all of Hitchcocks wardrobe. This woman is amazing. Such an eye for the female body. I wish she were alive today as Id love to see what she would be creating for todays Hollywood Actresses. If you love Edith Head and 1950s Fashion as much as I do. This book is a must for your collection.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Mostly SatisfiedBy TimI received the item on time as indicated but was disappointed that the jacket cover is sort of a mess -- especially since I am giving this book as a gift to someone else. Im surprised given that I paid the highest price on for the book that it now will appear to my family member that the book has been used when clearly I purchased a new copy.
