Appx. 275 pages of beautiful women beautifully dressed.

It's not a book for everyone and probably not often bought by males. This aged male ordered it for two reasons: First, I dabble in illustration art and wanted women's fashion pictures in color for the purpose of inspiration. This book contains lots of them dating from 1890 up to 2010, all of them in the form of "Vogue" magazine covers. The ones in color begin in 1907 or thereabouts, and they are gorgeous. The covers from 1890 until 1910 come 9 to each page. Thereafter in general they are either 4 per page or full page. Attached to the inside of the back cover is a glassine envelope measuring 8 and a half by eleven inches containing 5 individual covers printed on heavy stock.

The covers from 1910 until circa 1938 are for the most part drawings in color by outstanding fashion artists. Those covers by themselves are worth buying the book for.

My second reason for wanting the book: I like women and I like to see them beautifully dressed and posed. Simple as that. My copy of the book is new and in perfect condition. The dust jacket is flawless. It is a marvelous book and I'm glad to have it. The Chinese printers are exceptionally talented.

Not as expected

The best photo is the cover photo. I was expecting to see 8x10's throughout, but that isn't the case. Lot's of smaller photos and some 8 bys. All in all, a nice book.

A beautiful creation

I bought this expensive book because when my late mother was in her early teens (1913-1915), she posed for Francis X. Leyendecker, a neighbor of hers in New Rochelle, New York. She appeared (in paintings, not photos) on five Vogue Magazine covers, the originals of which I have. She also appeared on four Vanity Fair Magazine covers, and one Puck Magazine cover, as well as some advertisements. Unfortunately only one of her Vogue covers appears in this book. Nevertheless, the book is a very impressive compendium of Vogue covers over the years. They display not only many beautuiful women and fine fashions, but first-rate photography as well. The book is a beautiful creation.j

It all starts with the cover

Magazines are bought based on what is on the cover and Vogue is the master at luring a reading to it's glamorous publication. I love looking at the fashions and models from back in the day as well as the beautiful illustrations. It's a great coffee table book because you can just flip through a few pages any time you want a glimpse of true artistry.

Minor Damage

I was a little disappointed because when i got it in the mail the bottom part of the book was smooshed and scrunched up and the paper on the cover was starting to tear because of it. I did get it at $15 off though so I guess what can you expect?

Book review Vogue

I loved the progression of covers from inception to current issues. What is really pretty special is it includes 5 pictures suitable for framing. I plan to hang them in my sewing room.

Not actually “Very Good”

I purchased this book “Used - Very Good”. After reviewing the Amazon Conditions Guidelines again, I feel like it should have been classified as a little lesser than this - maybe as Used acceptable or good. It isn’t really as cute of a coffee table book as I’d hoped because it is stained and ripped. I knew it was used, but “very good” is supposed to mean undamged.

2 MONTHS???

I ordered this for my wife and can not believe that it takes 2 months to get a damn book! I have never waited this long for a package and it is still not sent. This better be an awesome book and make her more happy than I have ever seen her! Probably not its just a book

The Beauty of Women of Color

While this book has great photos and captures the thematic history of Vogue covers in a succinct way, it's a disappointing visual reminder that women of color weren't considered beautiful in American society for a longgggggg time. Sigh. I'm glad I borrowed this book before committing to buy it. It will not be going on my coffee table but I see why fashion lovers like myself love it so much.

Beautiful book with many different covers for each decade

Beautiful book with many different covers for each decade. It was cool to see how magazines have changed with each era. I'm glad this was a gift because $40 is a little too much to spend on this. But overall very nice and I'm glad it is in my collection.
