This is a fabulous book for any Union Case collector. Very well written and a ton of good material. Photographs are outstanding as well. The authors certainly did their research in preparing such a fantastic book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Precious Keeping, October 22, 2002
By 
Richard O. Titus (Sewell, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Union Cases: A Collector's Guide to the Art of America's First Plastics (Hardcover)
The intimacy of an image in a closed victorian case greatly contrasts with the brash public advertisement craved by photograph subjects and holders of our age. Here shown is an incredible variety of design and cultural symbols that warmed the victorian heart and provided a notable prelude to disclosure of a person much-loved by the case's holder. The preface is well documented study of the origins of the theromoplastic photograph case. The body of the work is a quite comprehensive monochrome catalog of cases organized by size and design. The sheer variety of the invention shown is dizzying. This is a carefully prepared work and should continue for some time as a standard for those collecting and exploring the thermoplastic (Union) case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource, October 29, 2010
This review is from: Union Cases: A Collector's Guide to the Art of America's First Plastics (Hardcover)
The authors clearly searched the country for as many examples of thermoplastic cases as they could find. The case images are well-presented in an organized arrangement and the introductory text is well-researched. I refer to it time and time again and feel that I always find what I'm looking for.
