The Hat As An Object Of Art

This attractive, artsy book comes with a grosgrain hat trim book mark. Its black and white photographs, poems, hat ditties from literature and essays treat the hat as an object of art. For example: "Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her: If you can bounce high, bounce for her too, "Till she cry Lover, gold-hatted, high bouncing lover, I must have you" F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.

The Beauty of the Hat

This is a remarkable little book. This is a beautiful little book. I suppose it is out of print because hat-loving is such a niche market. But hat lovers everywhere would love this book. The hat is such an expression of style and dignity, and this book captures it in a totally charming way. Wow, what a book.
