1: Avid collector
I found this book very informative and I learned a lot about buttons. I would have liked the pictures to be in color which would help me identify them. It will become my reference book.
|
2: color photos
It would have been great if the photos were in color, this is something that makes looking and finding the buttons so much easier. Having color photos adds a lot.
|
3: The Best for Button Terms and Information!
This is the very best reference book available under $200. This updated issue is beautiful, includes price estimates of buttons featured, and is the reference book every Button Collector owns. (The only other MUST own button book is Big Book of Buttons, $200, IF you can find one at all.) My button club uses it for many of our meeting programs. "Most Excellent" book! Janice in Niwot

4: From abalone buttons, to work-clothes buttons
Compiled and written by Sally C. Luscomb (the co-publisher of "Just Buttons" magazine for a 35-year run), The Collector's Encyclopedia Of Buttons is now in a fully updated and significantly expanded reference which presents more than 3,000 collectible and classic buttons from across all time periods, materials, and manufacturers. The Collector's Encyclopedia Of Buttons features entries that cover everything from abalone buttons, to work-clothes buttons, and zodiac buttons. Straightforward, highly accessible writing and enhanced black-and-white photographs, The Collector's Encyclopedia Of Buttons is a one-of-a-kind resource for professional dealers and dedicated collectors.

5: Good illustrations
I like this book as there are many illustrations and after reading the book I had a deeper understanding of buttons. This is an informative book and I would encourage those who are interested in collecting buttons and those advance collecters to read it. Another book similiar to it and I would reccommend is Antique & Collectible Buttons : Identification and Values.
