Review of Unsigned Beauties of Costume Jewelry Barbara A. Matz Great book filled with lots of good information! The photos are a bit dark, but that doesn't detract from the jewelry being shown.

I have now purchsed two of Marcie's books. They are well written, easy to follow, good pictures of pins and great advise.. "Beautiful and Informative!" according to Handprint. This is a great book with beautiful pictures and helpful information! Well worth my money.
