I like the content of the book, it's really informative. But it seems like the book quality has been stores for quite long in a storage, and the back cover was damaged.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
9 June 2018 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I returned this item because it was not what it was represented to be. No photographs of Coco Chanel's designs or accessories, just childish black and white drawings that look like they were painted with a brush for painting a house. No details. Lots of short magazine type quotes but nothing of substance. Kind of like a comic book. I have read 3 extensive Coco Chanel biographies in the past year and wanted to see something that showed the details of her designs up close and her accessories. Definitely wasn't worth what they charged me so I returned it AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT.
