Num Pages: 48 pages, 8 colour and 50 b&w illustrations, bibliography. BIC Classification: 1DST; 3JJH; HBJD; HBWQ; JWD; JWLF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 247 x 183 x 4. Weight in Grams: 172.

Many interesting uniforms, a number of them new to most readers, ... Read more
