1 comments about Modern Sniper Rifles.
- This book is a good intro. to sniper rifles; although it doesn't go into enough detail to make it anything remotely like a field/training manual, it does give the reader a little info. on many different rifles in many different cals. etc. If you'd like to purchase an accurate rifle with sniping accuracy (.5 MOA) and you don't want to spend the big bucks to do it, give this book a read. It will also give you a brief history lesson on various rifles. It's an easy read, and well worth buying.

3 comments about Furniture Care and Conservation.
- This is by far the best book on conservation i have ever read
- Written as a guide for museum conservators by a conservator. Presents excellent practical information and presents a code of ethics. Anyone who owns, cares for or commercially works on antiques should read McGiffin's work.
- At a workshop on conserving antiques given by conservators, this book was recommended as "one of the few reliable texts widely available." Their booklet describes the book: "Simple, easy to understand book on furniture care and simple treatments."

1 comments about The Marketplace Guide to Oak Furniture.
- The buying and selling of oak furniture has been given relatively brief note in collector's guides, so any dealing in oak furniture in particular needs The Marketplace Guide to Oak Furniture, now updated to its second edition, packs in color photos along with the latest values and furniture-maker history. It's an excellent, basic reference for any dealing in oak furniture, and for libraries catering to such specialty collector audiences.

2 comments about Twentieth Century Furniture.
- This was a very helpful book to determine furniture in different periods of time. It's a good resource.
- Overall, a pretty good book. Starting a little earlier than most modern books, it begins with some examples of Arts & Crafts, Nouveau and Deco which help give some interesting perspective.
The photos are large, but of varying quality. Some pics surprised me with new angles and views than I am used to. (There is a shot of a Nelson Marshmallow couch in a very large size that I had never heard of.) Some of the shots show some aging and wear and tear which is refreshing to see and sometimes adds some nice character to the pieces.
