Nice Type Reference,
By George Richards "Curious Collector" (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indian Axes & Related Stone Artifacts (Indian Axes & Related Stone Artifacts: Identification & Values) (Paperback)
A very nice resource for type, style, and era. However, from an instructional or educational perspective it is essentially a picture book. It leaves me with plenty of questions regarding the entire subject area. But all in all it is still handy as a reference and was worth the price.
