Amazing price for this book which was described as used, but like new, and indeed arrived in perfect condition. Item description was spot on and in fact this book could have been sold as new. Fast shipping as well. This was a rather heavy art book and the seller did a great job of packing it securely so that it arrived in perfect condition and free of damage. Well done and I would absolutely buy again from this seller.

This seller was great. They corresponded with me in a timely manner and the book came in the condition exactly as it was listed. The book is in almost new condition and they sold it for a VERY reasonable price. This seller even went the extra mile - they made sure to protect the book in its shipping package from any potential damage during transport. Very happy with my purchase! Thank you again! 5/5

    An exellent study on a facinating subject - a true historical reseach on a fashion history, done by the Russian emigree in Paris, London, Harbin, Constantinople and Berlin. A true treat to all the fashion lovers, bestselling item in Russia! More than 800 b/w photos and a lot of desigh ideas to use now. Fabulous gift and a usefull reading for designers, students, scollars and fashion lovers. Never before such a book was done on the Russian influence in fashion. Great Ebay item! Highly recomended Kitmir1925
