This book is worth it's money just for it's pictures alone
I would also add Great Scots! by Matthew Shaw. It doesn't deal with kilts in particular, but the start of each chapter has a kilted gent in a different tartan posing with regards to the topic.
Great Scots! is about the Scottish history of Canada. An excellent read.

David, I saw this volume whilst in Edinburgh last month but, because it deals with only 400 of the thousands of tartans, I didn't bother with it. Since then, I have read several good reviews of it and so have ordered it from Amazon, together with "Tartan, The Highland Textile" by James D. Scarlett. I expect to receive both together in late November.
