Great pictures - Not enough.......2002-09-25
A Linen and Lace Collector's Insight.......2000-03-29
The one thing I feel this Reference and Value Guide lacks is a more detailed description of the work in the pieces and more History. For those of us who want to know the three "W's", the Why's, When's and the What's, and also the How's of the Linen and Lace World, more information is needed. Or when we know more about an individual piece, the fourth "W", kicks in and we we wonder Where the information is. Or once again, Why it is missing " Inquisitive minds like mine are always wanting to know as much as possible, and Learn, Learn, Learn!
I don't agree with everything in this book, but I feel that is as it should be! Differing opinions keep us all on our toes.

Old Lace and Linens Including Crochet: An Identification and Value Guide
Maryanne Dolan Manufacturer: Krause Publications ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0896890724 |
Customer Reviews:
old lace and linens including crochet.......2000-11-10
Small and thus easy to carry for a ready reference........1999-03-05
Bevy of examples covering many styles but inaccurate prices........1999-01-10
Identification of types is very spotty with even the obvious (hardanger and filet) listed only as drawn work or 'beautifully crocheted corners'. Dating of items seemed fairly accurate but pricing was "not of this earth". Most dollar amounts could easily be halved and one collar on page 43 listed at $55-60 I purchased for $8 from a knowledgable dealer.
This book is useful as an addendum to the library of a serious collector. It is however, of little value to the novice or student because it lacks identifying criteria and the pictures are not high enough quality to decipher detail.

Collecting Household Linens
Frances Johnson Manufacturer: Schiffer Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 076430111X |
Book Description
Perfect for the experienced collector as well as for the novice, this book covers all the details, beginning with the origins of handmade linens and encompassing afghans, altar cloths, curtains and shade pulls, and bedspreads; subjects which have not been covered before because they have only recently become very collectible. Centerpieces and doilies are probably the best known of household linens because so many were made through the years, and the author makes it easy to identify the many varieties. Other popular areas covered are decorator pillows, napkins, and napkin rings.Customer Reviews:
Great resource on linens even for beginners.......2003-12-13
The research and data is excellent, although because of the size of the book I find it a bit more cumbersome to read. The pictures are fair as well and are not the highest "picture book" quality. They do however show the important details well and clearly and the variety of items shown is a great cross section of what the chapter talks about.
Definately well worth the money for someone intersted in vintage linens with little or no background in them.
A valuable fun to read guide for the linen lover!.......1999-03-05

Creating Your Own Jewelry: Taking Inspiration from Museum Masterpieces - 35 Surprisingly Simple Projects
Cris Dupouy Manufacturer: Stewart, Tabori and Chang ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1584793597 |
Book Description
Stewart, Tabori & Chang is proud to reissue the popular Abrams title Creating Your Own Antique Jewelry. A dream come true for crafters, Creating Your Own Jewelry combines the hobby of jewelry-making with the history of art by showing readers how to use polymer clay to replicate jewels featured in museum masterpieces. Drawing inspiration from antiquities that date as far back as the seventh century b.c., the thirty-five projects include a brooch based on the one worn by Isabella Brandt in Peter Paul Rubens's famous portrait of her, a bracelet depicted in Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's painting of Madame Moitessier, and a ninth-century talisman buried with the body of the emperor Charlemagne. Necklaces, earrings, pendants-the priceless originals may be far out of reach, but with a few supplies and a free afternoon anyone can fashion their very own copies.Each project features a color photo of the polymer version alongside the artwork that inspired it. Step-by-step illustrated instructions explain how to make the piece in just a few hours using common household tools like tweezers and widely available craft materials like semiprecious stones. Part museum tour, part how-to manual, each project in the book begins with a brief overview of the artwork-so that later, when someone asks about an intriguing pin, the crafter can be ready with a fascinating answer.
