Book Description
What originally began as a small "booklet" to identify & inventory pieces in miniature collections was four years in the making & became a full-scale hard bound book as collectors voiced their need for this information. With the realization that such a book would have a great utilitarian value not only to individual collectors, but also to museums & beneficiaries of such collections, an exhaustive research effort into past & present artisans culminated in the most comprehensive reference on miniature artisans ever compiled. NO STONE UNTURNED - Every possible known source was explored, from the most obvious to the obscure, gradually distilling a wealth of information into a clear, concise record of lucidity & accuracy. The result is a reference guide that both enriches the miniature as a true art form & ennobles the artisans who have made vital contributions in this area. EASY TO USE - Arranged alphabetically by artisan name, listings include business name, identification marks, category of work, honors bestowed, recognition, with an autobiography (for most listings), plus a carefully prepared cross-reference index. Measures 8 1/2" X 11" Hard Bound in dark blue Roxite with gold stamping. $65.00 plus $6.00 shipping & handling per book. QUANTITY DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE. Payment due with order.
