Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Celluloid Treasures of the Victorian Era (Hardcover)

Having had the chance to borrow a friend's copy, I soon found that I had to have one of my own. The photographs of these wonderful boxes are stunning and makes me wish I could have one of everything in this book. The price guides are accurate and the general information interesting.
