![]() I had so much fun reading this book, the writing style really makes it fun to read and the puns and jokes also help! I learned a lot of new things about the various kinds of underwear and the words for them to inventions that helped with underwear. ![]() From how people went from naked to wearing something (and I would indeed definitely not recommend cacti as underwear XD) to all the things people wore all over the world (I totally forgot that the Egyptian underwear was called Schenti, also NOPE on the red dye) to inventions, and more! I mean, dinosaurs, bones, food, animals, those all get books and tons of them even, but how often do you see a book about underwear? Well? Indeed not often, so I had to click request.Īnd here we are, we learn all about underwear. I always love books about topics not usually getting a book. ![]() ![]() I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review!
