5.0 out of 5 stars Documents the history and products of the W.H. Bossons Co., October 11, 1998

By	John Cassidy ([e-mail]) (Santa Clarita, California) - See all my reviews

Dr. Davis's love for the artware produced by the W.H. Bossons Co. formerly of Congleton, England is evident in this first of his two books on the subject. An avid collector and Director of the International Bossons Collectors Society, Dr. Davis captures the entire history of this unique company and documents with photos, the many wonderful character wall masks, figurines, plaques and other items they produced during their 50+ years of existence. The Imagical World of Bossons is an invaluable reference guide for the serious collector, veteran collectible shop owner or for the novice who is just beginning to discover Bossons collectibles.
