I own the older edition (the 2nd ed just came out a couple weeks ago).  It's an awesome resource.  It goes through a lot of the basics and covers virtually every layer of garment a person could want.  Anyone willing to give sewing their own historical clothing a shot should start with this book.  I still refer to it all the time.

That looks like an excellent Father's Day present for myself!

I have the old edition, too. I wonder how much has been updated and if it'd be worth buy again...when it goes on sale. ;)
