The Tudor Tailor IS good as a beginner's resource. What irks me is people slavishly copying the costumes in it and using it as their main source of documentation when they really ought to be moving into their own areas of research. *Deleted: Bitchy SCA commentary about people not doing original research*
But that's a general gripe of mine about most costuming books, even Patterns of Fashion. And I'm bitchy about things like original research, which, I've learned, is not always what people care about. ;)
I'm also totally flattered you put my website on that list. Yay! Someone finds it useful! :)
