Cally Blackman's 100 Years of Fashion Illustration ($26) is well worth its weight. After all, it takes a lot of pages — 378 to be exact — to show off 100 years of fantastic fashion illustrations as far back as the 1900s. Artists featured in this amazing exposé include Andy Warhol, Antonio Lopez, Tod Draz, and Erté. So much to ogle, but we especially love the groovy 1970s section . . .
