Summary: This book is the Gift of Knowledge
Comment: I have learned more from this 285 page book than all my years in this exciting industry working as a fabric designer, pattern maker, CAD instructor, independant consultant, and finally, business owner and manufacturer. David Birnbaum writes with wit, humor and dead-on accuracy. He makes learning about macro costs, direct costs, and indirect costs a fascinating study that is easy to wrap your head around. His observations and forecasts about China, NAFTA,the EU, CBI and Turkey to Indonesia are so insightful. This book is like talking to an Oracle.

Summary: Interesting look at the future of manufacturing
Comment: .
I thought this book would be dry and technical... It is not.
It's a well written, interesting look at the current and future state of global garment manufacturing. For those willing to take the time, it provides an insightful view into the future of North American manufacturing and the impact that the awakening of China will have on the lives of each and every one of us.
You had better read this one or you will be left behind.

Summary: Birnbaum Breaks New Ground
Comment: David Birnbaum is one unique man. He started his apparel career in New York, in the Garment District, then left it for a 30 year career living in China. Now he is consulting all over the world, opening plants, changing strategies, and speaking at industry meetings.
His book breaks new ground by redefining costing in a global way, using actual examples and taking into account every imaginable cost - especially those overlooked by those who only seek 'the low cost needle' and forget the basic arithmetic of full costing.
Like a text book, he defines; like a business book, he explains; and like an autobiography, he embellishes - but what he does mostly is hit you hard with 'nothing but the facts'.
To many in the apparel industry who say they are 'global', what they really mean is they are 'local' or 'regional'. David is global and therefore his book - whether you agree with his personal views or not - is a 'must read' for anyone who supplies to, works within, sources from or retails clothing of the global apparel industry.
While he does address Europe, NAFTA, the CBI and emerging regions, his experience is in that mysterious part of the world referred to as the 'Far East' or simply 'China' and is the core of the value of the study of his book.
