Shoes a-z by Jonathan Walford.  Library Call Number: GT1130.W35 2010.      

     For the designer, appreciator and shoe junkie, Thames & Hudson Publishers have put out page upon page of designer female footwear for the fashion conscious.  From the silly (Grey Mer patent pump with faceted heel, page 104) to the stylish (Grey Mer patent pump with faceted heel—it’s all in the eye of the beholder), from tennies to formal, this book’s got them covered.  All the major designers are represented and there’s a nice glossary of footwear terms at the end.
