Excellent Book an American Prints,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collectors Guide to Early Twentieth Century American Prints (Paperback)
This book covers 6 american artists from the turn of the century and includes important facts for each. It covers prices, condition, histories of the artists and much, much more. I like the way the book is laid out, it is easy to follow and understand. I judge collecting type books on how much I can learn and retain and I have learned a lot from this one. I highly recommend this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Majority was on Fox and Parrish prints only.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collectors Guide to Early Twentieth Century American Prints (Paperback)
I was mislead by the title, I thought I was getting hundreds ofartist and examples of their prints, but the book is on Parrish and Fox with a couple of other artist thrown in. Not at all what I was looking for.
