5-0 out of 5 stars LINCOLN IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!
BEING A LINCOLN SCHOLAR FOR MANY YEARS I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!IT CONTAINS EVERYTHING A FAN OF LINCOLN WOULD WANT.IF YOU ARE AN ADMIRER OF LINCOLN LIKE I AM THIS BOOK IS A MUST!!!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars The Book for those interested in Abraham Lincoln
This is the way that the world saw Abraham Lincoln. The photos, the statues, the hundreds of items produced after his death. Besides a book for collectors, this is a socialogical study of the diefication of a man.Recently, hundreds of thousands of people turned out for Princess Diana'sfuneral. When Lincoln died, a greater percentage of the population turnedout for the many funeral processions. Lincoln's body was takend from cityto city to satisfy the public's need to mourn. The variety and volume ofitems commemorating Lincoln is incredible. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars A disappointing book in most aspects....
I fully agree with the comments of "Collector".To be a useful reference/guide book for the general collectors, techniques on how to distinguish authentic and new reproductions are of great importance.But this book obviously fails to do so.Besides, offering a reference price for the collectibles are always misleading in particular for the volatile cultural revolution relics market.A "star" system according to the rarity of the items would be much more useful in this respect.If you are not interested in collecting CR relics, you may still buy this book to enjoy its colorful pictures though.No harm at all but no gain either!

5-0 out of 5 stars A Schiffer book!
Another wonderful book from Schiffer!
5-0 out of 5 stars Informative book on both the range of Cultural Revolution memorabilia available and its meaning and significance at the time
Over the past few years I have started to see more and more cultural items from China appearing in the United States.The Buddhas and other religious artifacts are familiar to me, but I have noted other items from time to time, such as propaganda posters or statues depicting some sort of Chinese scene that didn't make any sense to me.This book has provided me invaluable information on what those items mean, both in isolation and in the context of Chinese history.

4-0 out of 5 stars pictures are beautiful but too small
It is rather unfortunate that such a wonderful book has too small pictures.In some pictures one can hardly see the fine details of the pictures which are described in the accompanying text.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not about the Forbidden City
This book is the companion piece to a traveling art exhibit, with a pompous biography of a glorious chinese emperor.There are precious few pictures of the forbidden city, and no comprehensive map.And of the famous emperor, who was comparable to Louis XIV in his lavish spending, his development of culture and arts, and longevity, there is only one portrait.The book is poorly composed, not comprehensive, and worth checking out from the library, but not purchasing.And it definitely is not about the Forbidden City.Lastly, I was disappointed and have tried to understand this Chinese trandsliteration system, but the book gives one no clue as to how to pronounce "Qianlong"In Enlish, Q never occurs without a U following it, and is a K sound.So is it Kianlong?or Shianlong or Chianlong?Another great example is the grand dowager empress Cixi.How would you prononunce that?Sixy?Well, turns out it's more like Tsu-tsi.The only thing to recommend this book is the photos, but a very poor compilation.
5-0 out of 5 stars A one of a kind treasure.
Splendors of China's Forbidden City: The Glorious Reign of Qianlong is a marvelous work of art in and of itself.Splendors is published to coincide with the special exhibition of the same name currently being held by Chicago's Field Musuem that is set to run until the first week of September, 2004.The book, like the exhibit, is very well done and contains the only published photographs of the objects featured in the exhibit, making this book an extremely rare resource as photography is prohibited in the actual exhibit.These objects have never been publicly displayed in China, so aside from attending the exhibition yourself, this book is your only opportunity to view the the collection that Emperor Qianlong amassed throughout his reign.The book is not, however, simply a catalogue for the exhibition, but features wonderful commentary that gives great insight into the political, religious, and cultural tides of Qianlong's reign.It is the only book of its kind to be published in the English language.As a lover of art and literature, Qianlong himself would be quite pleased with the content of this work. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide! A++
Over the past year I have been very interested in campaign collectibles.This is the perfect guide.There are fifty categories ranging from buttons and pins to fans, clocks, banks, pennants, and postcards.Over 1700 items are catolouged in this guide.Each category has an introduction describing the items in general with a brief history.Each individual item in the book is presented with a photograph, the size of the item, year produced, and worth in dollars of the item.The book tells you how to pick out reproductions from real vintage items, and contains campaign materials from George Washington to George Bush.There's also a checklist, glossary, and list of campaign slogans in the back.I highly recommend this book. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful...but only buy the spiral bound version
Great quick reference book (and cheaper than Scotts Catalogue)...but the spiral version has two big advantages in my mind4-0 out of 5 stars 2003 Brookman Catalogue
I think this book is a very useful guide for US stamps.The only thing that I was a little unhappy about with this book is I thought this would be the spiral bound copy like you see in the stores, but it is not.Otherwise this book is great!I use it to identify US stamps.It is much easier to use than a Scott Catalogue because under the picture of each stamp is a list of possible Scott numbers that the design corresponds with. ...
