1 comments about Paperwork (Phaidon Colour Library).

1. I first read this book quite some years ago, and happened to find a copy just now. For a neophyte like myself, who has to work with different kinds of papers, technics and prints, it is a real blessing. Of course, if you are a trained professional on the subject, you probably already know everything it says...Anyway, if you want a book that's pretty interesting (and well made too), this is the one!

2 comments about Delftware: Faience Production at Delft.

1. This Rather Large "Coffee Table Look" Book is actually has many attributes of a good textbook. It provides the reader with a rather detailed and concise history of the Delft potteries. It also contains vivid descriptions of key wares from certain periods and the popular decorative styles. It also has a very helpful area covering the much debated topic of "Boerendelftische" (peasant Delft). It has many clear and high quality photographs that really show the true colors of the pieces (unlike a great deal of the earlier books which had "technicolor" pictures). This is a invaluable aid to the serious Delft Collector, who wants to collect/learn more about Delft that just its productions of the 18th century.



2. A great book for an overview of the great pieces that Delft made in the 17th and 18th century, with good and detailed descriptions. Beautiful pictures that looking stunning because of the large size of the book. A small section for used marks, but really worth while if you are interested in Dutch Delftware.

2 comments about Price Guide to Antique Clocks.

1. As a fairly new clock collector I was looking for information to help me when purchasing clocks off of ebay. This was the first book I bought and I haven't looked at it since the day it came in the mail. I came across the Tran Duy Ly books shortly after this and purchased one, the one for Ingraham clocks and watches. I used this book constantly and have since purchased three more, (for Ansonia, Seth Thomas and New Haven). I pull them out every time I am interested in a clock. They are extremely thorough and accurate. Plus, you can get updates just for the prices, you don't have to buy a whole new book.

   This book is going to be one that stays on the bookshelf and will rarely, if ever, be referenced. Purchase the ones by Tran Duy Ly instead.




2. Price Guide to Antique Clocks by Robert and Harriett Swedberg contains information on the identification of American clocks from the mid-19th century until about 1940. There are more than 600 photographs with identifying information in this book. These are different photographs than were included in their 1989 book, "American Clocks and Clockmakers". While prices for the clocks were given, there was no information about whether these prices were retail or auction prices or how the prices were obtained.

1 comments about Kremlin Gold: 1000 Years of Russian Gems and Jewels.

1. The book deals nicely with pieces that are mostly Russian enamels, silver, or icons. Very little jewelry is in the Kremlin collection. A couple Faberge imperial eggs that are seldom discussed elsewhere, but, they are not the most superb eggs (in my opinion).
