SUMMARY- All interior photographs are black-and-white. I admit I've had an interest in footwear ever since I watched the movie "Kinky Boots", which is more about friendships and relationships than it is about the boots - but the boots were a symbol, and you got to see all this interesting machinery and materials and, well, I can get a little excited over the silliest things.
You get a good amount of history in this book. It held my attention throughout.
