This is an amazing book because it is so comprehensive. In all the descriptions, it tells every discrepensy there ever has been and why certain evidence points to the accepted facts. The only thing that makes it hard to read is the lack of pictures. You should buy a good picture book with this to really grasp everything. Otherwise, this is a very good book.

This book has a small section of small photos that are not very good quality. All of the 47 known to exist Imperial Eggs are not shown. If you are looking for photos of the Faberge Eggs look elsewhere. If you are looking for 263 pages of print information this is it.

As the title of the book this is an encyclopedia which compiles the basisc data on the Fabergé eggs. I think it is useful for a person studying the subject, but not for a reader only interested in Fabergé.

I have missed a photo next to the the description of each egg, it would have been useful.

Anyway I recommend this book to people with a previous knowledge on the subject Fabergé eggs

Ha sido grato comprar este libro. Es un compendio en realidad muy completo de los huevos Fabergé. Contiene la historia, material, estructura, etc., de todos los huevos Fabergé conocidos. Es un libro completo. Acaso le faltan más ilustraciones de los mismos huevos. Son pocas páginas dedicadas a ilustrarlos.
