Neben den 2 anderen Bänden "Historical Wig Styling" habe ich mir auch diesen zugelegt. Es werden eher die Basics erklärt, keine komplett fertigen Frisuren für diese oder jede Epoche. Doch gerade als Einstieg ist es gut sich zunächst mit allen wichtigen Aspekten des Perückenmachens zu beschäftigen, bevor man gleich loslegt und dann im Prozess etwas versemmelt. In der Hinsicht ist es eine gute Hilfe.
