Everything you never knew you wanted to know about socks is described here in this illustrated book that alternates between lighthearted odes to the many types of socks with instructions for darning, uses for worn out or singleton socks, guides to what types of socks to wear with various sorts of shoes, a history of socks, and even a detailed illustrated guide to how to put socks on your feet. In case you were wondering. As adulting practices goes, it's basic yet there are nuances and skills in here not addressed in any other book. A beautifully-designed little hardcover book.(This book may contain a small, black sharpie mark on the bottom edge, so that it can't be returned to a different wholesaler.)
