Review
This book was written and compiled by J.L. Mashburn specifically for the collectors of Artist-Signed postcards issued from 1898 to 1950, both U.S. and Foreign. It is a very easy to use reference containing works of the World's greatest, as well as minor postcard artists and lists many near-complete checklists with values of each card. Included are chapters on Beautiful Ladies, Beautiful Children, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, French Glamour, Color Nudes, Blacks, Sports, Comics, Animals, Miscellaneous and Linen-era artists. Some of the cards pictured are worth up to $15000 each. Many others are worth hundreds of dollars. This book should be in every collectors library. -- Book Description

This review is from: Artist-Signed Postcard Price Guide: A Comprehensive Reference (Paperback)
Mashburn writes terrific books. His Postcard Guide is the best general book out there. He also does specialized postcard books such as this one. Anyone who collects artist-signed postcards will want this book, no question about it. It is filled with hundreds of pages and pictures of all our favorite artists, like Harrison Fisher, Philip Boileau, Earl Christy, as well as the more obscure yet fabulous artists like Lupiac and others. He covers a variety of categories, like Beautiful Ladies, Beautiful Children, Nudes, Blacks, Sports, and Comics. He includes a reference section in the front which goes over important information such as how to determine the age of a card, grade a card's condition, and so on. My only quibble with this book is that all the inside images are in black and white, and I would have loved to see some in color. Perhaps in the next edition. If you're looking for a comprehensive reference on Artist-Signed postcards, this is the book to buy.
