Editorial Reviews
Preservation Magazine
"A calmly reasoned, quietly persuasive document that can make the mysteries of taste comprehensible to almost anyone . . . The 14 criteria are flexible enough to be applied to nearly every object -- from a Honus Wagner baseball card to a Queen Anne chair. They touch on such elements as form, color, and finish and help neophytes discern fraudulent pieces as well as concealed repairs."
