Review
...fills a need...more accurate if narrower in scope than H.H. Caplan's...Recommended for the larger museum and research libraries. (Choice )
...this niche has now been ably filled...Collectors, dealers, scholars, auction houses and others interested in fine art will find this book a useful guide and definitive asset to their fine art library. (Fine Art & Auction Review )
...excellent...essential for any serious art collector or dealer...the only directory of European signatures to include biographical, bibliographical and pictorial sources of information. (The Antiquer's Guide )
...a definitive approach to artists' signatures...Given its comprehensiveness, it should be in every serious Western art research collection. (Arba )
Totally unique in content...a broad range of references...a necessary directory for researchers. (George Radan, Professor, Villanova University )
