This is both a book for collectors , and a "coffee table" beauty. The photos are superb, the items selected are the "best of the best", and the narrative is well-written. Unfortunately, those items missing from the book are the Favrile tiles and small pieces--jewelry, scarabs; these are pieces that many collectors can afford and are still available.
The beautiful photos and well written commentary make this book the finest on the subject available. Detailed descriptions along with superior photo quality make this a must for new collectors and experts alike.
I find this book visually exciting, and definately an addition to the collectible word in matters pertaining to the "Mystic" and "Magic" of the maveric artist "Louis Comfort Tiffany". If you own any Tiffany Favrile Glass this is one of the must have books.
Good photos and descriptions of an assortment of Tiffany pieces
excellent book, I reallyenjoy it
