This book was a pleasant surprise. I expected the dry recitation of facts and adequate photography of the average collector's book, but that's not what I got. The narrative is fun, with much of the primary author's personality shining through, and the photography is lovely.

The book is beautifully designed. Literary quotes about jewelry and a sense of a personal connection with the authors enhance the text. I found myself reading the entire book instead of just looking up the parts I wanted to know about. The information is thorough and detailed.

Since this is the first text on antique enamel, one would expect it to do well among collectors, but this exceeds those expectations and will be an asset to anyone in the antique business.

Great Book, fabulous photos. I recommend it to anyone with a love of Gorgeous Enamel Jewelry

My Godmother is a long time and successful antique dealer. Finding her a book is exciting since she has catalogs, etc. This book pleased her greatly and helps fill out her library. Dale did a wonderful and exhaustive job with this book.
