Books on handbags

[Olimpia]

Hello everyone!

I'm now in the process of finding a good book about handbags (the classics perhaps) on how they were made, etc for a friend who just loves them for Xmas. I'm struggling to find one I am certain will be good so i was wondering if any of the lovely people in TFS has purchased one that they believe would make a good present for a bag lover? I have purchased one by the Pepin press but would like to find her another one so my question is...

What would you recommend as good handbag literature?
