I have collected ornaments for years and buy every book I can find on the subject. A collector will value the information and price guide that the author has compiled but the photos will be worth purchasing this book. You just won't find that many different types in one book! Highly recommended!

excellent resource for collecting true vintage ornaments
Helpful Votes: 25 out of 25 total.
Review Date: 1998-11-24
I found this book most helpful in identifying true vintage ornaments as well as their value. It covers in great detail why specific materials were used for a given time including the color variations. It also contains stories and cuts from celebrations long ago which I found very informative. I came away with a great deal of knowledge and will carry this with me on all my hunts. Highly recommend!

Deep pockets also allow for easy storage of recipe cards
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2003-12-13
Christmas Recipes: A Collecting & Sharing Journal With Pockets is a do-it-yourself cookbook. It presents five starter recipes for treats like "caramel corn" and "chocolate crinkles", but the vast majority of this journal consists of blank pages to write down treasured food favorites for the Christmas season. Four deep pockets also allow for easy storage of recipe cards, and the simple illustrations here and there add a delightful touch to this excellent consumable resource for the culinary aspects of the holiday festivities.

This book is excellent! The author does a great job balancing impressive information with warm memories of Christmases past. I have found that element lacking in so many other "collectors" types of books. This book will definitely remain one of my all-time favorites!

This is a truly magnificent art book, large, heavy, complete. The paper on which the book is printed and on which the paintings are reproduced is very thick and fine. The most famous masterpieces collected by Sterling and Stephen Clark are reproduced here -- in bright, vivid color -- are a delight and are awe-inspiring. The brothers were truly great collectors and their circumspect life proves to be almost as interesting as the paintings themselves. The texts are scholarly and straight forward. While the events of the Clark brothers lifes are vividly told, the text also explains and illuminates each painting through interesting analyses. This is no ordinary art book. Simply Gorgeous!

This is a fascinating compendium of cloth dolls.
Helpful Votes: 16 out of 17 total.
Review Date: 1998-07-21
No matter if your interest is in the history of dolls or in collecting, this is the book for you! The photographs are very good and the text is thorough and interesting. The early primitive (and not so primitive) dolls show the reader the type of dolls made in colonial times. The later cottage industry types show early innovation. Even contemporary art dolls are covered. I have read and reread this book a number of times and it has a permanent place on my bedside table. If you love cloth dolls, you must buy this book!

Coca-Cola companions from Aardvarks to Yaks
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2000-12-09
Coca-Cola bean bags are instantly recognizable by their bottle of Coke. But while Polar Bears are obvious, it's harder to distinguish Jaguars from Cheetahs. Luckily, this handsome book contains large, colorful photographs and pertinent details to help a collector manage a wide variety of Coca-Cola bean bags critters. And, the comprehensive list of all Coca-Cola bean bags in Appendix A is a very useful feature to track what's in your collection.

The chapter on tags is especially helpful, with highly readable photos of the in's and out's of the authentic tags. It's too bad the country flags were not similarly illustrated for the International sets so we could learn more about the country each critter came from. Still, it's a great book to show kids what different animals look like in all the countries where Coca-Cola is sold.

A refreshing guide to Coca-Cola's adorable Polar Bears
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 5 total.
Review Date: 2000-12-09
As the widely-recognized ambassadors for Coca-Cola, Polar Bears occupy a special spot in my Coca-Cola collection. No doubt about it, these adorable bears and cubs make it all too easy to be smitten with the collector bug. Now I'm delighted to have a handsome hardcover book about these bears to add to my Coca-Cola treasures.

Thanks to this "family scrapbook" with colorful photos and general descriptions, I can now admire and covet the many Coca-Cola Polar Bears in every size, shape and variety. The authors even provided a list of resources that will come in handy. While I would have loved more technical details about how the TV ads were created and animated, overall I'm "beary" happy!
