This book is a huge disappointment. I expected to see photos of pleats, folds, draping on couture garments. I also expected to have information on a larger range of folded applications. That is not the case-- It covers 25 techniques with a sample photo of manipulated fabric (not a garment), 'how to do' instructions written in English and repeated AGAIN, in French, and a fashion sketch of each application. That's it. No eye candy. Nada.

Save your money. You are better off buying The Art of Manipulating Fabric, by Colette Wolff. If you already have Wolff's book, you have the best that is out there.
