Book Reviews of Swing! The New Retro Renaissance (V/Search)
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't really have another book to compare this one to. It has references to tons of Swing people in the San Francisco Area. I am a fan of most of the groups that are featured in it (especially Lee Press-On & the Nails). It gives good places to buy vintage looking clothes, shoes, ties, etc. But if you don't live near S.F. then the addresses of stores won't really help. Overall I enjoyed the book, and I believe it is well worth buying. It also has some very good photos in it.
