Customer Reviews

Fine pictorial overview of Hollywood fashion

As someone who's interested in fashion history (and who runs awebsite dedicated to the role of opera gloves in the history offashion and the movies, I found this book an excellent visual introduction to the importance of fashion in Hollywood. The writing is snappy and breezy, and the pictures (which, after all, *is* why you're buying this book - isn't it?) are gorgeous. Truth in packaging compels me to reveal that I read this book at my local library, but it's definitely on my wish list! END

GREAT STORIES AND PHOTOS

I AM A HOLLYWOOD NUT. . .I love everything about the movies. At last, here is a new twist, by an author who seems to love the movies as much as I do. Thanks, Sandy.

Great photos with informative and entertaining stories

I purchased a copy of this book because so many of my favorite actors were shown in great photos. I started reading the captions and chuckled at the quick quips and short anecdotes. I ended up buying more copies as gifts. This book has turned out to be one of the best books I have ever given. I hope others will get it for their library. It's not only for movie buffs, but the great photos and stories make a fun afternoon read.

If you love Hollywood -- you'll love this book!

I have seen Ms. Schreier on the A & E Channel on several occasions over the last few months discussing hollywood fashion in the movies -- she always provides so many great inside tidbits that I had to go and buy this book. The book did not disappoint! As a 40 year lover of the movies -- I found her stories enlightening as well as very entertaining. I can't wait for the sequel!

A Funny, Informative, Entertaining and Beautiful Book!

I have read many books on Hollywood style as I am a fan of the movies but this book is now my absolute favorite! Schreier puts a very entertaining twist on Hollywood style that not only taught me a few things but also made me laugh out loud. I was so sad when the book ended - I just wanted more! This book is great for anyone who has an interest in Hollywood fashion, the movies or simply anyone who just wants to be entertained. I highly recommend Schreier's book!
