Safro, Millicent

Harry N. Abrams

Haughtily beautiful or whimsically irreverent, buttons are a unique mirror of changing fashions in dress and the decorative arts through the centuries. With a foreword by acclaimed artist Jim Dine and a preface by best-selling author Tom Wolfe, both devoted buttons aficionadoes, this book appeals to the serious collector and casual enthusiast alike.

Where would we be without them? To celebrate these miniature marvels, here's a collection of quotes, trivia, and photographs to take you on an expert tour through a world of art, craft, fashion, and social history.
