Book review: The Pocket Square by A.C.Phillips, pub. Thames & Hudson

Thursday, 12 May 2016

The Pocket Square by A.C. Phillips is a nicely designed book presenting 22 essential pocket square folds in a colourful, graphic format with clear diagrams and minimal text.




Peppered with bons mots from celebrities who've worn pocket squares over the years, the book also gives information about the origins and history of the humble pocket hank. Published by Thames & Hudson at a modest £9.95.

I was sent this book for review.

    22 ways to fold a pocket square. 22 ways. A pocket square.

    A quote which says that simplicity is the essence of good taste.

    I'm really not sure. Was the irony here intentional or an accident? Are you recommending this book or subtly pointing out how ridiculous it is?

    Sorry Anon, I'm probably being slow, but you've lost me with that comment.
