"Traditional Palestinian Costume is a magnificent work of deep
love; among the most elegant artistic productions between two
covers I have seen... Meeting this book is like opening a treasure
box. Congratulations on your gift to the Palestinian nation, the
Arab heritage and indeed the cultural legacy of the world...."
"[A] beautiful volume now showcases 25 years of research by
Munayyer, who has trolled museums, libraries and private
collections around the world to shape this book. It documents
costumes from antiquity to modern times, categorizing regional
specificities, especially since the late 19th century onwards.
Superbly illustrated-the book counts no less than 500 photographs
documenting abayas, head gear, sashes, and the all important
brides' trousseaus, which young girls would start working on from
their early teens-this is a mesmerizing must-have coffee table
book."
