Well written, and thorough in its intent. The short chapters are well organised and capture the culture, the attitude of the people, and importantly for the author, the fashion of each location.
Despite the book sounding fairly specialised (looking for the location of origin of a dress and an embroidered amulet), it made interesting reading for those not specifically interested in embroidery!
