Zuni Fetishes and Carvings

The book is very informative, compact and well illustrated. It invites one to visit the Zuni Culture as a whole!

Almost Complete

Contains a great deal of information about the Zuni carvers and their carvings, but does not get quite far enough.

excellent book with LOTS of photos by knowledgable author

Zuni fetish carvings are fascinating and addicting. This new book by Kent McManis, who owns Grey Dog Trading Company, combines two earlier books into an expanded version with even more pictures of the carvings. I didn't see much new information in this expanded edition but it does have more photos than the earlier volumes combined. If you have the two earlier books, you probably don't need this new one unless you just like to look at pictures of the fetish carvings.
