I know I know, weird right? My ADHD brain wants a book about hats. One about different styles, history, culture, uses, materials. This is so niche, but if anyone knows of a good book even if it's about historic clothing that includes hats. This is a rabbit hole I've wanted to dive down for several years now and of course it's tonight, when I should be studying for exams…
Even if you don't have a particular book about hats, but your own ADHD brain thinks of something better, I'll take the recommendation.
