Art Deco Chrome (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Summary: An Art Deco Collector's MUST HAVE!
Review: Mr. Linz honors the Machine Age of Chrome and Bakelite! All the major 'players' are carefully given a great backgound and history in a chapter devoted to the companies themselves, then on to the good stuff! Devoting his written information to 'just the facts', Mr. Linz provides a very large wealth of information in a minimum amount of space. He consistently focuses on the items he is presenting, and with the color and B/W pictures provides a large and impressive array of the 'Age'. This book provided me with data I had not seen or heard of before, and as I consider myself a 'serious' and 'advanced' collector of some of these items, it is a VERY helpful resource. Thank you, Mr. Linz!

Summary: One of the best books on the subject.
Review: This is a very well done book. The pictures are very good and the text well written. Jim Linz has apparently done his homework because there is much important information to be found here. There are catalog reprints and great background information on both the major companies and the designers involved. Highly recommended.
