The first book to describe vintage eyewear from the 1920s to the 1990s. Vintage-eyeglass shop staff and owners were interviewed and their wares photographed, with the resulting 131 valuable frames presented full size.This means that many of these frames, with the exception of a few, can be seen in person and even purchased at stores. Some classic models still hold up, even when viewed today, while others remain decorative, like jewelry. Every frame is one of a kind and has a certain aura about it, and the historical fact that they were made from 25 years to a century ago is tantalizing. Inanagewhenitiseasytobuyreasonablygood-qualityeyewear,choosing a vintage piece for your very own “special” look is a decadent pleasure. About the Author Takano Fujii comes in contact with more than 1,000 pairs of glasses a year and writes articles on all kinds of eyewear, including trade fairs, factories, and product introductions in Japan and abroad.
