2 comments about Miller's Collecting the 1950s.

1. This is an **excellent** resource book! It's not only chock full o' cool color pictures, it has lots of really informative text--a rare combination. Covers furniture (Herman Miller/Saarenen etc), spacey fabric designs, silly kitsch, dishware, lamps, 50s clothing and much, much more. Most books of this sort are either text-heavy, or merely picture books. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in collecting vintage stuff of this period!



2. A mind-boggling array of beautiful and outlandish objects from the 1950s explained, illustrated and priced, with a real sense of perspective and a light-hearted approach. Every page has something to make the collector gasp, and it's not all just the usual 50s Americana -- there's a strong emphasis on stuff from the UK and Europe, including some glorious textiles and enough emphemera to thrill the most jaded collector. A much-needed guide to a still under-explored era of collectables. A real must for anyone with even the remotest interest in understanding both the era and the origins of the objects that help make it seem so glamorous today.

2 comments about The Basics of Buying Art.

1. I devoured this book! It lays the foundation for art collecting and investing regardless of the amount of money an investor is willing to spend. The writing is refreshing and down to earth. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in embarking on the mission of art investing.



2. I found the information in this book to be so basic that it was virtually useless. You'll either already know this info from common sense or you can get it from another book that takes a more indepth look at the field. The writing was clear and simple. Do yourself a favor, save your money and put it toward another introductory book on collecting art, one that has more pages, smaller print and larger words.
