 Couldn't even read it October 9, 2008
E. Schimek (NY USA)
This book seemed really old and outdated. They are promoting to "photo style" and I had to laugh at how bad the photo on the cover was when I got the book. Not for the stylish.
 Look somewhere else. August 8, 2008
Miranda Therese Parker
This book is a joke. I think it's pretty important, when publishing a book about photo styling, that the photos are well-styled and well-shot. These are neither. There is something very elementary and DIY about this book. Not a good expenditure, and I recommend you search for something else.
I am leaving a star, as Amazon doesn't give me the option of leaving no stars.

Being a professional photographer I have worked with many stylists. This book has lots of good info in it. I bought it for a friend who was interested in being a stylist. I looked at it and have barrowed it back several times to improve my own skills. It has lots of great ideas and skills you need.
Great book on many levels January 19, 2007

This is a fantastic source of information for anyone interested in finding out what the career of photo styling entails but also offers lots of tips even for a veteran stylist like me. The author writes with insight, humor and obviously from a great deal of experience.
There are illustrations showing how things are done, many tips and "secrets" and very useful lists and websites.
The chapters on the business of styling and self promotion are alone are worth the price of the book.
Get this book if you want to work as a stylist or if you are working as one now. You'll learn something useful!!!

This book has helped me time and time again and I've only had it for a month or so. I'm so glad someone finally wrote a book on such an important part of photography. I recommend anyone serious about fashion and photography to get this book, it helps a great deal and explains everything in such detail.
