This was awkward as an ebook and I would have loved to read a coffee table version with more illustrations. I had to do a whole bunch of Googling to fill in the blanks. Also, the subtitle is false advertising - this is basically Western World wedding attire and largely UK and US examples with a very small handful of other examples (Japan, Korean, Indian, the Maori barkcloth from New Zealand, one or two Russian?) Interesting! But wish it had been paired with an illustrator if the photo rights were too rich.
