Collector Books published Mr. Badders's first book on inkwells over two years ago and sales of that book have been very good. Now Veldon Badders has completed an all-new book. This fresh look at inkwells was compiled not to replace Book I, but to be a companion volume; it does not include any repeats of that first book. Book II has over 750 full-color photographs complete with sizes, dates, composition, histories of manufacture, and of course, current market values. Also included in this beautiful book are chapters on pottery & porcelain, crystal, glass, copper, brass, cast iron, wood, stone, plastic, and more. Inkwells are made of virtually every material imaginable and have been produced for centuries - the first dating back into the 1600s. Current values range from as little as $20.00 into the thousands of dollars. Collectors need this resourceful book to keep abreast of ever-changing values.1998 values.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The inkwell addicts comopanion to Volume 1,
This review is from: Collectors Guide to Inkwells: Identification and Values, Book 2 (Paperback)
This is Badders' second volume of magnificent color plates of inkwells. This one contains 757 photos, some of which are alternate views of the same inkwell. Those who have Volume one are probably not even bothering to read this review. They ordered this companion book immediately and are at this moment drooling over the beautiful inkstands, looking for those that are similar to the ones in their collection.
