Customer Reviews

good addition to library on cameos

This isn't as comprehensive as some other books on cameos but it has short, helpful explantions that augment other books I have on the subject.

Good book for price guide but.....

The book is exactly what it says it is, a price guide. There isn't any history, how to tell what time the cameo is from, what the cameo is made of etc. Not exactly what I wanted but will come in handy for an idea of prices.
