Bought it for a gift.

This is a wonderful overview of cosplay, with many many color pictures. It is for people who enjoy participating, and also the milder fan like me--who go to some conventions but don't go in costume. This history really gave me a better understanding of the art, storytelling, and community of cosplay! Cosplay is really a celebration of fandom.The book is very well-written and planned out. There is too much in this book for me to describe, and I can tell it was a labor of love. So--Buy this book! Read this book!!

This was an interesting read about an interesting topic, but it could have easily been titled Star Wars, as that seems to be the main topic. Perhaps I read the description wrong, but I was expecting more about cosplay in general, not just interesting tidbits and then shoe-horning Star Wars into every aspect. Still, pretty interesting read.

This is going to be perfect
