More than 2,000 spoons are featured in approximately 500 clear, crisp black and white photographs, several pages of color photos, and vintage catalog ads. This book places heavy emphasis on souvenir spoons in the Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and arts and Crafts style. It contains in-depth information on spoons from South America, Mexico, and Asia. Over a thousand spoons from around the world never before published in any collectible spoon book are featured. AUTHORBIO: Wayne Bednersh is a graduate of UCLA and has authored several articles on spoons and silver techniques. His interest in silver medallions and antiques led him to souvenir spoon collecting. He is the author of two volumes on Collectible Souvenir Spoons. REVIEW: This book displays and prices a broad range of silver jewelry, reflecting the breadth of the collectible market and emphasizing the kind of silver jewelry which the average dealer/collector is most likely to encounter in the marketplace. The range covers a broad spectrum, from cheap to expensive, rare to common, U.S. and Continental to Middle Eastern & Oriental.
