Editorial Reviews

Review
This book will appeal to advanced collectors as well as novices. For the advanced collector, a number of rarer spoons are featured. For the intermediate collector, the wide variety of spoons shown will help you choose a specialization area and will give a broader view of examples than in any other single source. For the novice collector and for dealers, this book will serve as a reference and a guide for the buying and selling of spoons.

Product Description
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Informative Guide to Collectible Souvenir Spoons !, December 14, 1999
Published in 1998, this 336 page book contains 750 large, sharp, black and white photos, plus 12 full color pages. Although difficult to photograph, the pictures clearly show the designs on the spoons. The volume contains informative text, covering the history of spoons, introduction, and details. Major topics range from Inspiring A Nation, First Americans, and Modern Vision of Government, to Inspiring Our Children, Our Bowl Overfloweth and Craftsmanship and Painted Silver. Price ranges are provided as well as a comprehensive bibliography and index. A valuable reference tool for souvenir spoon collectors.
