Very informative, great reference book for collectors. Excellent references and photos. Enjoyed it.
Has really helped me identify ornaments. Anyone that’s interested in re-selling, collecting, or a history buff would enjoy this guide. This has been such a help to me.
Great Book! Comprehensive and concise! The photos are crisp and the images clear, something you don’t always find in Collector Guide books. It covers pretty much all of the bases!
