Written for high school level readers and above, this encyclopedia is general in its treatment, but the editors have included descriptions of an impressive selection of very specific and frequently obscure clothing articles. Each of the many short sections includes a summary of the history of the culture or era and a short bibliography of popular sources and websites. The volumes are illustrated, though not copiously, with good quality color and b&w illustrations. The seven authors are freelance writers and college instructors in the US who have contributed to other encyclopediae of this level.
