Reviews

Colorful... Kyi organizes a good deal of information and communicates it clearly, though with a decidedly informal tone... approachable look.
Fascinating... not only traces the evolution of jeans, but it provides a cultural and social history... well-written, engaging.
Informing and entertaining...will lead teens...to an understanding of the multiple movements, events, and attitudes that surround the enduring jeans.
Well-documented facts as well as entertaining trivia sidebars... a readable and engaging text... excellent recommendation for historical or cultural assignments.
Particularly effective is the scene where Jonathan bribes the caricature of a Victorian clerk ... the pictures carry the story very well.
