1 comments about The Golden Haggadah.

1. The bulk of this book contains color plates of Biblical scenes taking up full pages in the Haggadah - the stories of Genesis and Exodus depicted in marvelous illuminations some of which have a very icon-like quality.

   There are intrepetive chapters on the artists and their models for the Biblical minatures including material on the Jewish interpretation of the Christian illuminations' symbols. The final chapter discusses the Shepardi community and the patrons who could fund such an effort as the Golden Haggadah.

   For those interested for ritual purposes as well, see The Illuminated Haggadah - the ritual text with illuminations from the British Library including several also in this book.

   For anyone interested in religious art or Medieval illuminations, this book is a must have as it explores an aspect of illuminated manuscripts unknown to many of us Gentiles.

1 comments about Gifts for Good Children Part Two - The History of: The History of Children's China 1890 - 1990.

1. This book was a disappointment as title is a misnomer. It should read "The History of BRITISH Children's China". No other countries are represented here. Author has organized alphabetically by mfr. rather than design type or years made. Only 8 pages of color photographs. Plentiful B&W. Good background info. on makers listed. No price values. It's a decent enough reference for English children's china, but not especially helpful to collectors wanting to know which pieces are more desirable, etc. At this price, book should have mainly color photos!

3 comments about Collector's Guide to Yellow Ware.

1. Although there are nice pictures and NICE overinflated prices,
   there is much information and labeling of yellow ware that is incorrect. It is obvious that this author doesn't know enough about pottery to be considered an authority on yellow ware. the only book that I know of that has the correct information for the begginer and the scholar is Gallo's book, a great reference. When is he going to do another one?



2. This book has even more information than the first!The color photography is wonderful.The entire book is filled with photos of many rare and unusual pieces. She has also added a section on Potters and their marks to aide in identification.A well researched and enjoyable guide for the Yellow Ware Collector. I hear number three's in the works.



3. Collecting Yellow Ware is a must have for the Yellow Ware collector.Lisa and Michael have created an in-depth guide of the history of this wonderful pottery.There are tips for collecting,and numerous color photographs.All arranged in and easy to follow format.I refer to it daily.
