  • Halloween Costumes & Other Treats
This is an EXCELLENT reference for researching old & vintage Halloween costumes, but better than that, it is one of the most fun books I've ever paged through! In it I was so pleasantly surprised to find an amazing amount of costumes that I never even knew existed! And the amount of pop culture-related costumes (i.e., those of characters from television shows from my youth) is not to be believed! It's also put me on somewhat of a mission to locate even one of the more obscure costumes found in this book - just for fun! The early Halloween decorations chosen for this book are also some of the best vintage Halloween collectibles to be had. You will NOT be disappointed in this wonderful guide! ... show more

  • Outstanding images
Excellent detail and an exceptional amount of images for many costumes that were from a long ago era. What a trip down memory lane.
