Table of Contents
Description:
This book is specifically focused on bookends, paperweights, and animal figures. It identifies and catalogs over 250 items in over 300 color photographs and/or drawings. There are also other selected pieces trays, flower holders, candleholders, etc. that utilize animal themes.
A serious analysis of rarity and availability of pieces is provided, as well as a means of differentiating "new" versus "old" Rookwood. There is a complete price guide, a chapter on fakes and reproductions, a discussion of Rookwood marks, and an extensive index for easy reference.
Descriptions include size, shape number, year produced, rarity information, price, and other specific comments about the piece that will assist collectors in identification. There are even hints on repairs and restorations. Besides appealing to collectors of paperweights, bookends, and animal figurals, the book will be of interest to Rookwood collectors in general.
For the sophisticated collector, the book offers a view of the total number of shapes that can be found and a means to determine the most desirable of future additions. For the beginning collector or the person ready to add to an existing collection, it offers a means of deciding where to begin and what shapes are most readily available and most affordable. Finally, for the person who has not yet taken the plunge or who doesn't currently own any Rookwood pieces, the book gives a wonderful overview of attractive Rookwood pieces in the hopes of adding him to the new wave of Rookwood collectors.
Publisher's Review:
This book presents, describes, and catalogs nearly the entire scope of bookends, paperweights, and animal items (many being rare and unusual). It also makes collecting critters easier and more enjoyable. It identifies, catalogs, and provides photographs of all Rookwood shapes described in the Rookwood files as bookends, paperweights, and animal figurals, as well as selected other shapes that utilize animal themes to promote purchase.
This is a remaindered book which has been discounted, due to either publisher overstock or to minor cosmetic damage. From inside cover: This book has been sold by the publisher / distributor at a reduced wholesale price for one of the following reasons: shipping damage, new edition has been released, out of print, too few available to advertise.
