I've been cheating on my current WIP (hopefully soon to be my ex-WIP) with my next WIP. It's set in New York, on the eve of the Great Depression (at least at the beginning. *Spoiler* Everybody loses all their money), and my heroine, Isabelle (or maybe Isabel, I'm not sure) is a Young Lady of Means. Of course she needs dresses, so I've been spending many happy hours on OMGThatDress shopping for her. So far, I've mostly found party dresses, of which this is my favorite.
[Yes, I know a 2nd grader can upload pictures from Pinterist. Sadly, I'm not a 2nd grader. Somebody is going to have to show me, slowly, several times. I've finally learned to follow knitting patterns, but computer directions? Not so much.]
Oh. Anybody who knows a good, layman's book about the causes of the Great Depression (the first one, this would be), lay it on me. Because I'm stockpiling research.

That is a beautiful dress, however.
Uploading a picture: if you right-click on the image, it should give you the option of "copy image URL." Then, if you are composing your LJ post in a rich text editor, you click on the little thing that looks like a picture frame hung on the wall by string, and it will give you an option to paste in the URL. If you are composing your LJ post in a straight HTML editor, you type in {img src="relevant url here"} except the curly brackets should be pointy ones.
There should be a little tab at the top of your post window that says whether it's rich text or HTML.
I hope that's simple enough?
The Panic of 1907 by Robert F. Bruner and Sean D. Carr
It lists several interconnecting factors that contributed to the crisis. It has helped me understand the crash of 2008, and I imagine it would have things in common with 1929 as well.
