Editorial :
The odds of finding such items today except in in a few international auctions is probably less than being struck by lightning - on a clear day.. Super nice book and beautifully illustrated A+A+A+. The Santa Barbara property slays in this book, and I loved how the weather in the San Juan Island property reflected a typical Pacific Northwest mood. Details, details) Anyway, I've had a handful of guests over since setting it in my living room. A beautiful book!! The photographs of the clothes are outstanding, and the price was great.. Purchased for a collector friend. (Also was 3 mimosas deep at time of purchase. Very nice book, but its missing:
Differences in tags and prices for example Beck 60's tag on 666 RS vs. good. I bought this as a Christmas gift, and the recepient could not have been more pleased! Thank you Rinyou are amazing!!. He was extremely happy with the book. It provides the history and value of the jackets he features. Recipient had nothing but praise for this
