Good book for the money,
By Ann M. Pitman (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterpieces of Costume Jewelry (Schiffer Book for Collectors With Value Guide) (Hardcover)
This book has some wonderful photographs, and lots of jewelry you won't see anywhere else. It covers many designers that are overlooked by many jewelry book authors. There is a lot of information in this book, making it as good for reading as it is for picture viewing.

Collecting & Selling Vintage Costume Jewelry,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Masterpieces of Costume Jewelry (Schiffer Book for Collectors With Value Guide) (Hardcover)
I have purchased several books at Amazon, and I have, Never Been unhappy with any Item bought. "Masterpieces of Costume Jewelry" is a great reference source. I research quite often and use a variety of books. This book, is a little different than the others, I use. It has a back pages with value guide, in list form. That saves me some time.
I get great deals on books at Amazon. I would normally pay a higher price for a reference book, in new condition. Shipping is fair, the Pictures and Prices, help me Identify, and quickly adjust prices, this allowes me to have, a very good transaction, when I sell. Thank You Much, God Bless You & Yours Sharon
