3.0 out of 5 stars
Very pretty jewelry book,
By
This review is from: Costume Jewelry (POCKET COLLECTIBLES) (Paperback)
This book has beautiful colored photos of the jewelry. If you are looking for a lot of information on old jewelry, this is not the book for you. Basicly gives a larger than average photo of the item, circa and designer name also has a 5 star rating for each piece listed 1-5 stars. No prices listed, suggested retail or otherwise.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Not Worth the Money,
By
This review is from: Costume Jewelry (POCKET COLLECTIBLES) (Paperback)
Beautiful pictures in this miniature book. Descriptions and * value ratings are written on the side of each page, necessitating the constant inconvenience of turning the book sideways to read the information. Plus, there are a number of repeats from Miller's 2003 full size book. Buy that one instead. It's more comprehensive and better organized.
