3.0 out of 5 stars
A good biographical book on Hector Aguilar and his influence,
By A Customer
This review is from: Silver Masters of Mexico, Hector Aguilar and the Taller Borda: Hector Aguilar and the Taller Borda (Hardcover)
This book is well done. But, it is not a Morrill and Berk book on an overview of Mexican Silver and Taxco. It is more narrow in scope that its title would suggest concentrating in depth on Hector Aguilar and making him much more a personna than Morill and Berk do in their book, where he is dwarfed by Spratling. The photos in this book are of homes and people. The photos there are of silver of the Taller are good but do not again expect the detail to the Morrill and Berk book. This is a supplement and to lovers of Aguilar and those who wish to know more about the man and his life both personal and professional.

This review is from: Silver Masters of Mexico, Hector Aguilar and the Taller Borda: Hector Aguilar and the Taller Borda (Hardcover)
This seller met all my expectation with this purchase. This book is a very thorough look at the history of the silver jewelry industry in the Taxco, Mexico region of the mid 20th century. Many photos - I found this book to be very interesting to read as well as being very informative.

This review is from: Silver Masters of Mexico, Hector Aguilar and the Taller Borda: Hector Aguilar and the Taller Borda (Hardcover)
This book is in excellent condition and provided me with the information I was looking for about a specific piece of Hector Agular's work. The item is pictured in the book and as I am forced to sell the piece, I will include the book in the sale.
