1 comments about Limbert Arts and Crafts Furniture: The Complete 1903 Catalog (Dover Books on Antiques and Furniture).
- While Charles Limbert is less well known than the Stickley brothers, some of his furniture was, to the European eye, even better. Sadly, the line drawings of the original catalog are extremely ugly (see nos 79 and 80 which are reproduced as photographs on the cover, you would scarcely recognise them!). I did use this to build a glazed bookcase (no 306), which must be some sort of a recommendation, for I haven't used any of the other catalogs yet. And the book is very cheap!

5 comments about Lamps of the '50s & '60s (Schiffer Book for Collectors).
- I AGREE WITH TUCSON, AZ IN THAT THIS IS A NEAT LITTLE REFERENCE BOOK IF YOU LIKE COLLECTING GREAT FUNKY, VINTAGE LAMPS. IT WAS THE FIRST LAMP BOOK I COULD FIND WHEN I STARTED COLLECTING AND THOUGH THE BOOK VALUE PRICES ARE VERY LOW FOR TODAY'S CURRENT MARKET, I WAS ABLE TO GET A "ROUGH" ESTIMATE ON WHAT MINE WERE WORTH. A LITTLE HISTORY BEHIND EACH LAMP WOULD BE NICE, AND THIS BOOK COULD USE A PRICE UPDATING AND SOME CLEARER PICTURES, BUT OVERALL, IF YOU CAN FIND A USED COPY CHEAP, IT IS WORTH HAVING.
- This was released in 1997, before Ebay and the lamp craze of the 50's and 60's hit its resurgance. It was the very first lamp book I purchased, and the only one with 'funky' lamps that I could find at the time. I found it to be very enjoyable, and a great reference to help me start my vintage lamp - collecting hobby. Though the pictures are a little blurry, and the prices very low, keep in mind that the market is constantly going up, and some are VERY collectible now, bringing in top dollars. If you can find a nice used copy of this book, buy it!
- what a jip. the cover shot has these cool looking lamps and all but once you open the rest of the book it turns out to be a blurry mess. does this publishing company have a computer? Hello is anybody in there? some of the worst lamps i have ever seen are represented in this book.mrs lindenberger should at least do some research on the prices these lamps regularly sell for. perhaps by checking on eBAY. come to think of it between Ms. Lindenberger and schiffer publishing they have put out more trash price guides than singer made sewing machines.Dont Judge a book by it's cover is definately appropriate in this case.
- although some of the pictures are not the best, I personaly enjoyed looking at all the quirky lamps. (there are some really outa-this-world looking lamps in this book.) If you want to see some really over the top lamps, check out this book.
- This is typical of the work (or lack thereof) of Jan Lindenberger. Lousy pics, little or no product or maker information and completely off base pricing "guide". Don't waste your money on ANY of this "authors" titles if you want accurate information. Shame on you, Ms. Lindenberger and Schiffer Publishing for cranking out this low caliber garbage.
