A substantial and now increasingly elusive reference on Palestinian costume, embroidery, and material culture by Widad Kamel Kawar, one of the foundational figures in the preservation of Palestinian dress history. Conceived not merely as a survey of garments, but as a documentary record of lives, places, and regional identities, the volume brings together richly reproduced textile and costume plates with oral testimony and historical commentary. Its structure moves region by region across Palestine—among them Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Nablus, Gaza, and Southern Palestine—making the book especially valuable to collectors, researchers, and dealers seeking a serious visual and documentary guide to regional dress traditions. Kawar’s work occupies an important place in the literature of Palestinian dress. The book was reviewed in specialist and academic venues and continues to be cited by museum and curatorial institutions concerned with Palestinian embroidery and costume history. With trade copies now sold out at the publisher and difficult to source through the usual rare-book channels, clean copies have become notably harder to obtain. The present copy appears well preserved, with bright covers and a clean illustrated interior visible in the supplied photographs, showing only light signs of ordinary handling. An appealing copy of a title that has become a key point of reference for collectors of Palestinian textiles, dealers in historical costume, and libraries building holdings in Levantine dress, embroidery, and women’s material culture.
