Book Description
Preservation Magazine "A calmly reasoned, quietly persuasive document that can make the mysteries of taste comprehensible to almost anyone . . . The 14 criteria are flexible enough to be applied to nearly every object -- from a Honus Wagner baseball
card to a Queen Anne chair. They touch on such elements as form, color, and finish and help neophytes discern fraudulent pieces as well as concealed repairs."
From the Publisher 6 5/8 x 9 1/2 trim. 54 color illus. LC 98-43759
