This book is for all lovers of shoes. Linda is certainly well heeled in her knowledge of footwear. Wonderful pics and I loved the step by step guide to their making.

What a fantastic collection of shoes! I thought this would be the perfect gift for my shoe-obsessed colleague, and I wasn't disappointed! Not only does it have great quality photos, it has interesting facts about the shoes too. I would definitely recommend this book.
