1: Poor photo quality and binding
For a Rizzoli book the photography of the brooches is terrible. The pieces chosen for the book are interesting and beautiful. When I opened the book, the binding broke. It is printed in China so I suppose that explains the overall poor quality. I returned this book.

2: Part of paragraph is missing
Page 56 begins in the middle of the sentence. It might be that this book was printed in China.
Great photos for people interested in this type of jewelry. Some nice information.

3: BROOCHES, TIMELESS ADORNMENT by Lori Ettlinger Gross --- A "Must Read" Book for the Jewelry Enthusiast!
A concise, informative, well-researched book on brooches with wonderful photographs by David Behl. Ms. Gross has certainly authored a book which gives a broad historical overview of brooches. The book includes many fabulous, meaningful, and accurately categorized pieces as illustrations. Obviously, Ms. Gross spent much time in selecting the appropriate pieces to be illustrated and much research in preparing the corresponding information with the pieces. The book covers the history of brooches to the care of brooches, and is one of the best overviews of this very important jewelry form that has been published. Also, I might add, that the Rizzoli Publishing Company, as always, did a masterful job in publishing the book.
