I am getting so much out of this book. Buy this book.. The book gives real-world practical advice for putting yourself out there and getting your work into the hands of buyers. As an artist starting at the bottom, Alyson's book has been invaluable in laying down the necessities for establishing art as business. This book is of immense help to all artists who want to implement an easy to use system for marketing work, keeping in touch with collectors and having an on-line presence. Mme. Where has this book been all my life? Although I have two art degrees, none prepared me for the working world. Wish I'd bought it when I first heard about Alyson, but glad I have it now, as it moves me to action every time I pick it up - if there had been a book like this when I started out to be an artist in the late 70"s, it might be in its tenth revision (things have changed so much!) but it would still be my most valuable business resource!Marianne Hornbuckle, painter/sculptor. Ribiero did a superior job.PSI have both editions , and as a fashion history buff, I highly recommend it!I thought I already submitted a review.Merci,JG. The recent edition is updated with helpful information on blogging, using Facebook and Twitter. I have saved what would have likely been countless hours

From Library Journal If you wonder why people used to dress as they did and how changes in dress relate to broader issues of social history, this is the kind of book you will enjoy. In addition, it is a readable, thorough, and intelligent treatment of the excessively elaborate style of the day. The author of several books and many articles on the history of dress, Ribeiro (art history, Univ. of London) originally published this book in 1985, and though he did no significant revisions, he corrects some errors of fact and offers many new illustrations and an updated bibliography. This volume, however, captures the reader's interest because it focuses on a relatively narrow time period (1715-89), a coherent locale (Europe), and a small segment of society (the nobility and the wealthy). Many fashion histories are so broad that they fail as anything but catalogs of style changes. It will also appeal to anyone interested in either the time period covered or the evolution of fashion in general. Beautifully produced (with about 200 full-page color and black-and-white images) and reasonably

Aileen Ribeiro, a historian of dress, also looks at such subjects as developments in retailing and distribution, etiquette, the rise of the dress designer and couturier, the evolution of ready-made clothes, fancy dress, and the masquerade. A survey of the clothing worn by the middle and upper classes throughout Europe in the 18th century, and a discussion of what this meant in terms of social definition and identity. This revised edition takes the text and bibliographic material in the previous volume and adds many new illustrations in colour.
