### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on the House of Worth
*by K***R on 22 February 2018*

I am thrilled by this book. I own several books on the House of Worth, but all the others were somewhat lacking. This book is just what I'd wanted. Fabulous photos in colour and lots of them. Whole outfits plus details. Over 300 pages. Fantastic detail on the house of Worth. This book is expensive but far and away the best on the subject. I was lucky and managed to order a damaged copy at reduced price. The book was unread and perfect except for a creased cover.
