This slim volume, was written and copyrighted 11 years before the CITES trade agreement treaty of June 9, 1989. So the info on purchasing ivory and or owning it are outdated. The other info on preparing the ivory and the tools used are good for comparison. Of the way things are done today and the tools used.

Old school pre CITES Treaty,

This slim volume, was written and copyrighted 11 years before the CITES trade agreement treaty of June 9, 1989. So the info on purchasing ivory and or owning it are outdated. The other info on preparing the ivory and the tools used are good for comparison. Of the way things are done today and the tools used. I would say this book would be good for the reference shelf, or some one with only a passing interest in ivory work. Check out your favorite search engine for the complete CITES treaty. Watch out as this booklet is sold on some ivory web sites for big bucks. I do own it.

This review is from: How to Scrimshaw and Carve Ivory (Paperback)
this book was NOT what i was looking for. The descriptions were brief and the photos not clear. (mainly because it's an old book- and the photo technology was lousy then)...BUT - for 98 cents plus shipping - what did i expect? You will not learn to do scrimshaw from this book....and really nothing on carving ivory.
