"There are certain types of books that I more or less assume all readers read. (Novels, for example.)But then there are books that only YOU read. Instructional manuals for fly-fishing. How-to books for spinning yarn. How to cook the perfect souffle. Rebuilding car engines in three easy steps. Dog training for dummies. Rewiring your house without electrocuting yourself. Tips on how to build a NASCAR course in your backyard. Stuff like that.
What niche books do YOU read?"
I love reading books about fashion and style. Everything from manuals and dictionaries to histories and biographies.
A Few Examples:
by Imogen Edwards-JonesEccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fabulous You

by Simon DoonanThings a Woman Should Know About Style by Karen Homer
The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Decorum by Kim Izzo
The Beautiful Fall: Fashion, Genius, and Glorious Excess in 1970s Paris by Alicia Drake
Front Row: Anna Wintour: The Cool Life and Hot Times of Vogue's Editor in Chief by Jerry Oppenheimer
The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of Fashion and Fashion Designers by Georgina O'Hara Callan

I have to say that fashion is a topic that greatly scares and fascinates me at the same time haha. I do like reading about it, especially back when I was still learning how to sew. Nowadays, it's a great source of ideas for costumes of the characters I draw. Cheers!
My BTT Niche
Thanks for visiting my blog, yours is lovely! Now that you have mentioned fashion books I realised that I own a few of those myself too! Happy BTT!
I'm not much for fashion, but I love the color coordinated books in your header!
I would love to read some fashion books, how fun would that be?
The Eccentric Glamour book looks fantastic, or should I say fabulous. Good post!
Fashion is a fun topic!
I'm not much on fashion either - my husband teases me about being stuck in the 70's - the denim era! I'll have to check out some of the fashion books you've listed!
Fashion books are great! I like read books that gives me advice on how to dress better.
