Notes:

The first detailed study of spectacles and sunglasses as a fashion accessory, written by the curator of the British Optical Association Museum at The College of Optometrists (the world's oldest optical museum) and heavily illustrated with items from the collection of that museum. Although individual chapters relate to famous international brands, an extended introduction and a series of short standalone features provide much wider coverage of the people who designed, made, marketed, bought and wore these spectacles. Includes an important glossary of terms used in the optical industry.
