ReviewsThis book is a fascinating read, and a surprise if you're used to traditional white, lace-edged hankies. There's so much more to handkerchiefs, and you will see them all in this book. The hankies featured are predominately from the 1940s through the 1960s, during an era where they went from being something that you used and needed to kitsch fashion accessories.
