Good book, lots of information. Just not much really for jewelry information.
The book was nice and in good condition. Only problem was that the reason I purchased the book in the first place was to get information on jewelry marks and there was only 11 pages in the whole book for the subject I needed. If I had known this to start with, I most likely would of not purchased it. However, it does go into depth on other collectibles and should I ever need that information, it will be of use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
