Extreemly difficult to find items that I was looking for.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collector's Encyclopeida of Wall Pockets (Hardcover)
The Newbounds have arranged the wall pockets in this encyclopedia in such a way, that it is very, very difficult to find that "one particular wall pocket". They have arranged the items in groupings by 'country of manufacture' which makes it nearly impossible to find if the wall pocket is not marked. The photography is supburbly done and the colors are vivid and beautiful, but it does not make the 'search' any easier. Also, I have found that the Newbounds are consistently underpricing the wall pockets in this book, as compared to other 'experts' in the same areas. If this is an example of the way they present the items in each of their other books, then I will not be a repeat costomer. If you have the opportunity to read the "introduction" contained in this book, that alone will give the reader a good idea of just how very convoluted the contents therein really are.

An Excellent Resource on Wall Pockets!,
By Danny G. (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collector's Encyclopeida of Wall Pockets (Hardcover)
I collect Wall Pockets and I totally disagree with the previous reviewer. I have never seen a book on Wall Pockets before, but I have looked through hundred of reference books on every conceivable collectible. In this book there are hundreds of Wall Pockets all photographed in color. The book is well organized and shows an absolutely mind-boggling array of Wall Pockets! As far as values are concerned, it's obvious most Wall Pockets are not worth a lot of money! The valuations separate the very valuable from the above average. Remember - condition and where you live have a lot to do with value. I bought a magnificent Wall Pocket of an African Women for $5.00 at auction. I t was from the 1940's or 1950's in amazing condition. Does that make it worth only $5.00 because that's all paid for it? Of course not! Valuations are subjective to a great degree, we are not talking gold coins here.
If you want a solid, well photographed and organized book on Wall Pockets, then I highly recommend this book!
