Write a customer review. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. This book is an exciting find that provides both a historical and marketing perspective of the development and details of the cosmetics commerce during the late 18th and early 19th century.

I was extremely pleased since this book starts with a historical perspective that details the meanings and use of cosmetic during the noted time period then proceeds to document the development of commerce in the industry. The text is easy to read and understand, but not simplistic. I thank the author for such a unique interest in a topic that has greater meaning than most individuals realize. I find the text helpful when read along with another book that provides more visual depictions of historical costume dress and customs during the period; however, I find the book was well worth the cost.

If you are planning to read the book simply for a historical backdrop to romantic novels or simply for because you have an interest in the topic, I also recommend the book since the author's style is not stilted nor pretentious.
