1 comments about Neoclassicism and Romanticism: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Drawing (Art & Architecture).
- "Neoclassicism and Romanticism" is an impressive survey of a broad period and group of styles in architecture and art. I highly recommend it as a valuable addition to anyone's art library. The illustrations are all in color and are of high quality.

1 comments about Shore Bird Patterns (Blue Ribbon Pattern Series, Book 5).
- I carve and paint (at least I make a feeble effort at it) birds. I have hundreds of books and pictures of various birds, shore birds included. Each, in it's own way, is quite helpful, coupled with my personal observations of the birds themselves in the wild. This work is quite good. Excellent scale in provided and the color is quite good. Using this work and others, to pick up more detail, one should be able to work at their peak ability. Recommend this one highly.

5 comments about Professional Goldsmithing: A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Jewelry Techniques.
- As of 13 May 2008 I was told by the Revere Academy that it will be another two years before the next edition of this wonderful book will be available....sigh. I worked from this book at a jewelry school in Manhattan and have been searching for it ever since. Another two years for the next edition is going to be way too long for this budding jeweler! I wish Alan would put it out to a bigger printing firm as I am convinced any amount of stock would fly off the shelf in no time at all as there is no other book of this calibre worth buying!
- This book is excellent. No need to buy used. As of November 15, 2007, Alan Revere's website informs "This book is currently out of print. Look for the expanded and revised edition with 5 new chapters, new layout and larger photographs. Coming soon!" The price is about $70.
- This is a well written project book in jewellery. The projects are detailed and well photographed, but not a book for the beginner. If you require books on methods and technical information I recommend 'Jewelry Concepts & Technology' by Oppi Untracht and 'Theory and Practice of Goldsmithing (Jewelry Crafts)'by Erhard Brepohl, which are better value for money.
- 1st off a new edition is on the way with lots of new photos and 5 new chapers so don't get fleeced buying an over priced used copy.
Meanwhile, This is the single best choice for the intermediate to advanced jewler and even a beginner can learn much. Great step by step that is written so one can jump in a process and glean a specific skill without making the entire piece.
I've been making jewelry such as featured in this book for over 17 years and am a book hound. All the others are fighting it out for 2nd place as this rules the roost!
Can't wait for the new edition. Hurry up Alan!
Regards,
- This book is a gem. Pun intended. Gorgeous photographs and concise instructions combine to give the reader a lovely and interesting assistance into the complex world of goldsmithing , which Alan Revere knows initmately.
I especially appreciate the glossary and tool descriptions, which serve to beautifully strengthen both novice and veteran metal artists' cognitive arsenal. Wonderful beautiful volume, destined to be a classic for generations of fine jewelers and goldsmiths. Thank You Alan!!!
