charlesbugs 's review for:
In Intimate Detail: How to Choose, Wear, and Love Lingerie
by Cora Harrington
I am not a woman, and I don't wear women's lingerie, and I don't have sufficiently intimate relationships with any women to buy them underwear, either. Despite this, I still really enjoyed this book.
First off, it's just a beautiful physical object in its own right - a substantial but not heavy hard cover, with lovely illustrations and a ribbon place marker.
Secondly, I read this because I already follow Cora Harrington on her site and on Twitter, and I appreciate the very even keel to how she writes. There's a balance between ideology and practicality I love, as well as an attention to detail and an incorporation of historical context.
If you already know a lot about lingerie, this book likely won't have much new to offer you - it's fairly basic (even I already knew a lot of the information, from having read her site). However, if you're looking to contextualize what you already know, or have a limited lingerie wardrobe, or just want to know more about the subject - you cannot go wrong.
