Yeah ! Especially considering it's apparently a reedition of older texts - texts that my costume history teacher has used in class, and those do include visuals ! So it's a... really weird choice, I think. And the little booklet in the middle with one illustration per era mentioned is just not enough considering the amount of things described :/

If you want I can probably dig in what I've read before to recommend you some books about costume history, I'm *almost* sure I have at least one or two with visuals that can be interesting :)
