3.0 out of 5 stars A good resource for basic information on Folk Art, August 16, 2006

This review is from: Instant Expert: Collecting American Folk Art (Paperback)

This book tries to cover a lot of ground on a very broad and subtle topic. Unfortunately, no one can really become an expert on American Folk Art by simply reading this or any other book. The book does provide a good overview of the various collecting areas of American Folk Art and might be a good place to start for someone new to the field.
