1 comments about New Jersey Decoys.

1. If you are a new or an old hand to duck decoy collecting, this is an invaluable reference. The photographs are excellent and show both form and detail. This book is a classic guide, that many vintage decoy collectors and sellers use for identifying carvers of old decoys. Highly recommended by a decoy collector (me).

2 comments about Italian Empire Furniture: Furnishings and Interior Design From 1800 to 1843.

1. This is a fantastic sourcebook for collectors and dealers, and, I imagine, students. Fascinating text; high quality production (you get what you pay for) that makes it a lifelong reference and a handsome addition to one's library; fine photography of an amazing array of the best furniture from this time; and tastful, classic design. The representation surpassed my expectations--this book is the definitive, the one and only, the first thing to go to when researching a piece. I am most surprised by the historical overviews as they read extremely well. Not every piece is covered in extreme detail, but everything I've thought to look up has been there with a useful passage of at least a few paragraphs. The book is quite large and covers all the essentials and more.



2. If you like Neoclassic furniture, this is the one and only book you should have. It profiles all of the best Neoclassic furniture (in my opinion); that made in Italy.

   Besides offering a lavish production so that each piece is really viewable, this book compiles virtually every piece of the style. It's an amazing but delicious encyclopedia.

   This is a necessity for anyone who loves the style or needs authoritative information on it.

1 comments about Wood Magazine: Making Great Boxes (Wood Magazine).

1. Always looking for a few new box designs to work on in the shop, I picked up this book. First, there are a ton of designs in this book! I was hoping for a couple that I could add to my repertoire but was thrilled to see that there are at least 10 that I plan on doing. I may not try every single one in the book but it was well worth the investment to get this book.
   Second, these are all articles that have appeared over the years in WOOD magazine so there are no overarching theories of boxmaking here. I think the diversity of the articles actually strengthens the book in total.
   Overall, this was a great book to add to my library and I look forward to producing numerous boxes from the designs it contains.
