Antique Jewelry With Prices

Rating:
Summary: Yikes. Perfect for readers who don't like to read...
Review: Doris Snell's large format picture book, "Antique Jewelry with Prices" is perfect for those without the time or inclination to actually READ. Entirely composed of pictures, not always of the highest quality and, absolutely without information other than foot-note sentences identifying the general period of the jewelry featured on the page. Photos are primarily in black and white and could have used some professional lighting to make them crisp. In addition, illustrations apparently taken from old catalogues are included...which would have been very interesting if accompanied by some text. There is a nice Bibliography though. Buy one of those books.
