Beth Levine Shoes Hardcover – April 1, 2009

This beautiful book is a must for those of us who appreciate the fine craftsmanship that goes into a gorgeous pair of shoes. I was fortunate to see the Beth Levine show at the Bellevue Arts Museum a few years ago and now enjoy the book. I couldn't pass up the great price, just wish I could have purchased one for a close friend. e

My dad worked for Beth for 20 years. Was lovely to read about her background and beginnings in the industry. She definitely was a pioneer and a lovely woman.

Gave this as a gift to a collector of Beth Levine shoes. I think my gift was the hit of the day and I think I'll never be able to top this one.

I had the honor to meet Mrs. Levine ...this book show how magic & beautiful was Beth in her exclusive shoes designer ..great book to have in your home to share with friends.

Although many of these shoes represented previous decades, the relevance of the designer and classic styles make this book a must have for designers.

Bought this as a gift for someone who loves shoes. She found it a delight to browse through the she fashions illustrated.

I would love to own all the shoes in the book, unfortunately at size 12 I can only look, wonderful!!!!

For anyone that loves shoes or boots, this book is an absolute necessity. While David Hamsley's photos of Beth Levine's original designs (no knock-offs here) are out of this world, the insight Helene Verin brings forth, quite frankly rewrites the 20th century history of shoes. The significance of Beth Levine is clear, not only to a number of presidential first ladies, but to a multitude of Hollywood stars, as echoed in the book via insights and tributes by Harold Kota, Sonja Bata and Manolo Blahnik. As a historical reference, design inspiration and simply a coffee table masterpiece, I am thrilled to include this book in my library.

More people should know about Beth Levine! I was very lucky to buy this book for mere pennies, but it is worth a lot more.
