This review is from: Royal Copenhagen Porcelain: Animals and Figurines (Hardcover)

Wonderfully illustrated and very thorough, but difficult to follow. There was more information about each piece and the history of it than I ever expected. Only complaint is that the information is broken up in different tables in the front and in the back; ButI learned a lot about figurines and the history of Royal Copenhagen from this informative book.

It was such a good price. Beat any price that I had ever found on Ebay. Shipped promptly in a professional manner. Will watch out for further price guides that I might want from this seller!
