"American Fashion Menswear, the latest title from Assouline and the CFDA's glossy American Fashion series, won't officially launch for another month or two, but a few copies have made their way online\u2014and one, luckily enough, to our desk. It's written by menswear mainstay Robert Bryan, who's done stints at DNR, Men's Wear, and The New York Times Magazine, but \"written\" is probably the wrong word, in this case; aside from some thematic chapter introductions (\"The Ivy Road,\" \"The American Suit,\" \"The Dandy\"), it's light on text\u2014just as it should be. Bryan rounds up images ranging from the early twentieth century to the present, drawing on ads, lookbooks, runway shots, and editorials, with a particular eye to the evolution of style. (Pictured above: Commuting in the sixties and in the nineties\u2014a Draperish, gray-flanneled suburban businessman versus a skating Mark Vanderloo for DKNY.) The older photos are great and, buyer beware, may result in unforeseen eBay vintage-shopping expenditures. And though many of the newer images are familiar and even available elsewhere, is that any reason to punish your coffee table?\n\n $50, available at assouline.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
