Reviews

"A Welcome Addition to Silver Collectors & Researchers" "My company, prices4antiques.com, frequently receives requests from authors wishing to use our photos in their publications. We are happy to contribute in this way, but are seldom as impressed and pleased with the final product as we are in the case of this silver book. p4A editors conduct research everyday and see a myriad of reference materials, few of which are as clean, well-organized and complete as this one. This volume will not go on our library's bookshelves, it will stay on our silver editor's desk where it can be consulted daily." -- Kent Anderson "prices4antiques.com (Dayton, Ohio)"
"Clear and well-formatted, All About Antique Silver provides a good reference source for International silver marks, including the more modern marks lacking from standards such "The Book of Old Silver: English * American * Foreign and International Hallmarks on Silver Collected by Tardy. A useful quick guide." -- Kerry Shrives "Antiques Roadshow Silver Appraiser"
