A lovely introduction to Art Deco paper emphemera,
By Bluestocking (Pinecone Cottage, California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Affordable Art Deco Graphics (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
A very good general overview of Art Deco paper items. The photography is good and the little introductions to each chapter are interesting and informative. (Prices are a little low for the West Coast, though)
