Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The first broad based survey and price guide for dog memorabilia of all breeds, this book presents a remarkable array of dog-related items dating from the early nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. From portraits to postcards, Staffordshire to celluloid, Berlin work to buttons, everything in this compendium of over 430 color photographs relates to dogs and the people who loved them. Conveniently divided into eight collecting areas--art, ceramics, metalwork, photography and paper, wood, needlework and textiles, jewelry, and miscellaneous--the antiques and collectibles clearly displayed and fully described in this enjoyable book represent accessible, affordable items for the mid-range collector. Also included is an introductory essay tracing the popularity of various dog breeds over an eighty year period. A useful bibliography for further research is paired with a detailed index, and value estimates are included for all items as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog Antiques and Collectibles, October 24, 2000
By Jackie Craven (Schenectady, NY USA) - See all my reviews
If Robak's book were merely about figurines, it would be of little use to me. Instead, Dog Antiques and Collectibles is precisely what the title promises: A comprehensive, thoroughly researched, one-stop resource for the serious collector, with facts, illustrations and very useful price estimates. For me, this masterful text is indespensible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, October 23, 2000
By Weston H. Palmer (Penn Yan, NY USA) - See all my reviews
The first review on this list is obviously from a reader who did not understand the reason for the book. While I am sorry she is disappointed, she might want to consider spending the time, energy and money writing a book on "figurines" which seems to be her niche. Robak's book is gloriously profuse with examples of "Dogs in antiques" and gives a great overview of the subject. If the first reviewer had collected dog napkins, she would have been equally disappointed. The prices in Robak's book are reasonable references and the pics are wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure Chest of Information, November 13, 2000
By Mary A Kottwitz (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
It is my experience that most people collect neither figurines nor dog memorabilia. By no means does this render Robak's book useless to either the collector or ordinary reader. What I particulary enjoy is the book's organization based on the type of material used, like an art or museum book might be organized -- wood, metal, ceramic, glass, paper, textiles. Although some of the layout can only be categorized as "odd," the photos of such a wide array of items makes this as much a history book as a book for collectors. The short history of the popularity of dog breeds bears this out -- unpretentious and informative. The bibliography of books and periodicals would be a useful beginning for any researcher. I can only hope that Robak's attention to detail raises the caliber of other books like this, one of the best books I've seen from Schiffer Publishing.
