New Silver Book

Thanks for your article.

I wonder if you have seen that great new book on silver called "All About Antique Silver" by Diana Sanders Cinamon
(ISBN 0-9785168-0X). published by AAA publishing in San Bernadino CA in 2005.

This book has a lot of detail on how silver items are made, decorated and put together. This can be very helpful when looking at the quality of pieces to see if there are repairs or additions (marriages). It has more pertinent detail than any I have seen and includes the silver marks from more than 25 countries.

Also, for those collecting (Silver) "Figural Napkin Rings", there is also a very comprehensive book by the same name by Lillian Gottschalk and Sandra Whitson (ISBN 0-89145-677-5)

Two terrific books with lots of detailed information for both amateur and professional collectors.
