Take Ivy release date set for August 31



I first heard about "Take Ivy" probably six months ago. Originally published in 1965 by a quartet of Japanese authors, it is composed of candid shots of American gentlemen in "Ivy Style." It was out of print for years and a small reprint in Japan in 2006 sold out immediately. Now, an English translation will be available to one and all on August 31st of this year. From the grainy scanned-in images I have seen of the book, it looks unparalleled in the quality of images and insight into fashion layered upon them. Hit the Amazon link below to cop one.
