5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic figurals reference book, November 7, 2007
By Ann M. Pitman (GRITS - Girl Raised In The South) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I knew this book would be good because the author is so knowledgeable about the stories behind the companies and designers. Her photos are great, with a large size that are perfect for checking out the detail in the jewelry. I have been a collector for over 20 years and yet I had never seen most of the pins in this book. The information and the jewelry are "fresh" and I really love this book. I can't recommend it highly enough, make sure you add it to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tree-mendous book!, November 5, 2007
By C. M. Dembowski "MarketShy" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a very pleasant surprise. Not only does it deliver what it promises, it's also a great read!!! I bought it primarily to help me price and insure my Christmas tree collection; but this book offered so much more. First of all, it's funny! Kathy Flood has an irreverant wit that leaves you wanting more. Second, it's very informative. Her data is well researched, with references right on the money. I even enjoyed reading about figurals I don't even collect! Kudos and thanks to Warman Publishers for finding a writer who can even make plastic earrings sound absolutely fascinating! C.M. Dembowski
