Fascinating introduction to Buttons

This book was a wonderful introduction to the history of buttons and the variety and beauty of a generally overlooked accessory.I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and have used it as a resource on many occasions, as an amateur collector and when sewing. I was fortunate enough to meet the author, at her stall at Covent Garden in London, as an Australian tourist, and found her as delightful and interesting as her book.
