I just ran that book title/author past my daughter who makes historic garments for SCA and activities at the art museum where she is the librarian. Her texted answer is "Hah yes, I have a couple of her books at home and all of them at work." When she was learning how to make some of the garments they used for anime and other events she would put some pretty obscure and often quite expensive books on her Amazon or other wish list. I may have purchased one for her and don't remember it. :)
