3-0 out of 5 stars Basic Facts about the Hope Diamond
This book is concise and informative, with an overview of basic facts about the Hope Diamond, it's history and owners.Anyone with an unreasonable fear of the Hope Diamond will be particularly interested in the fact that Cartier manufactured the "curse" to sell the diamond based on a novel, "The Moonstone." "Blue Mystery" is an excellent precursor to "Queen of Diamonds", a fascinating autobiography of Evalyn Walsh McLean, the last private owner of the Hope Diamond.

4-0 out of 5 stars The Hope Diamond, is it cursed?
The book intresed me in many ways! Just think all of the owners and some family members died in a horrible way. I've always had a special intrest in mysteries like this one. And probaly like others I want to get a chance tosee it. Now that I've read the book I'm to scared! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Reference Guide to Fostoria Glassware
Wonderful reference guide to Fostoria Glassware. I would have preferred more color pictures to get a clear image of the glassware. Some pages tend to be a little dark. I feel this book is more for the Experienced Fostoria Glassware Collector.

5-0 out of 5 stars Gorgeously photographed, one-of-a-kind book!
This is the first book that captures the unique culture of Thrace throughextensive photographs of ancient treasures from museums throughoutBulgaria. I am happy to see that all photographs are accompanied withcaptions providing a wealth of information about the objects as well asinfo in which museums they can be seen. The preface details the history,culture, and religion of Thrace, and it's filled with fascinating facts. Itgives you deeper understanding of the political and cultural complexity ofthe ancient world and the relationships among Thracians, Greeks,Phoenicians, Romans, etc. There is a timetable at the end that convinientlydisplays the various periods in the development of Thrace parallel tofamous world events.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A good overview into the life of William Spratling
Don Guillermo, as he was known in Taxco, was an American architect who came upon an impoverished if beautiful Mexican village in the mountains of the state of Guerrero. Stimulated by financial desperation and a challenge from a friend, he hired a silversmith from nearby Iguala and kicked off the renaissance of Mexican silverwork- initially from a table in his house, and ultimately a large workshop turning out exemplary tin, copper, weaving, furniture and, of course, silver. Almost all the smiths who carried out the Taxco tradition were trained in the Spratling workshop. 2-0 out of 5 stars Little Spratling
This pricy but slim volume (126 actual pages of text and photos), is written like a freshman essay.There are facts, but little that illuminates or gives insight into this unusual personality who founded the silver industry in Taxco. It is neither insightful or clever and a biography must have one of these characteristics. Much research seems to have been done, but with little result. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Book review from Silver Magazineby Will Chandler
The first edition of Janet Drucker's Georg Jensen: A Tradition of Splendid Silver was published just four years ago, in 1997. Now, just a few breaths later, a revised and expanded second edition with an updated price guide is out. Given the impressive richness of the first edition, one might say,"So soon?" The first edition had gone out of print, but it would have been more usual at this remove to reprint it without revisions. The reasons are not especially apparent at first glance; the jacket design(and the jacket advertising copy) has barely changed, the general organization and graphic design of the first edition have been retained in the second, and the number of pages is about the same. When one sits down with both editions and begins to compare them page by page, the differences quickly become apparent. A very large amount of new material has been added into the new book, including 250 new images and expanded archival information on production and designers. Since the publication of the first edition, so much previously unavailable material came to light that its inclusion seemed paramount.5-0 out of 5 stars Reveiw by Sandra Todaro, Vintage Costume Jewelry Society
Collectors of jewelry of any type now have another acquisition for which to long. It's a signature piece, finely detailed, a valued addition to any serious collection. It is a jewel indeed, but you may not find it at thejewelers. It's a creation of Janet Drucker and it should stand the test oftime, for Drucker has crafted Georg Jensen A Tradition of Splendid Silverinto a splendid guidebook.Read more
