So-so Sarah Cov book,
By KELLY F DEVLIN (valparaiso, in United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sarah Coventry Jewelry (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
Based of the reviews (sadly, only a few) of books on Sarah Coventry jewelry, this was the least offensive it seems, so I cautiously purchased it. I would have been far more impressed with the book if there were not at least two mis-identified pieces. When you are to the point of printing a book about something factual, maybe having ALL of the identifications should be correct. Comparing the items to my Sarah Cov catalogs, I cannot even understand how one of them was mis-identified--description and all--other than poor editing. I would not be this upset if the book only cost me $10 but I expect 100% correct AND no "guessed" names based on another similar piece--another very disappointing feature. Without having all catalogs from the company existence, how do I know that some others are not mis-identified?! Why bother to put it in the book if it is not double checked, verified, ummm CORRECT? Lastly one piece that is unidentified, I see all of the time with its correct name...not sure why it would not be identified other than the book is 8 years old and maybe back then it was still a mystery.
At least the photos are all clear--trying to end in a positive note.

Helpful For Collectors,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sarah Coventry Jewelry (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This has been the most helpful book I have purchased for identifying Sarah Coventry jewelry. The pros are that it has many lovely pictures listed with the associated names and some description of the pieces. The author also has pictures of Sarah's catalog pages in 1969, 1972, and 1982 which can been read with a magnifying glass. The cons are that if you are looking for specific earrings, bracelets, or necklaces, there are several different places in the book where you must look. This book is not as efficient and organized as it could be. Also, the author has numerous pages on 'Signets', which do not help the collector. Overall it is the best I have purchased, but it is still time-consuming to identify pieces and lacking in organization.
