identification and value guide-1900-1980.......2007-08-07

Thank you Amazon for offering this wonderful book. I plan to spend a lot of time with it.
It has been very helpful and the price is well worth it.
Thank You,sanklo.

Excellent book.......2007-05-04

I have to disagree with the other review about the value guides in this book, these guides are exactly on what they do sell for on Ruby lane or ebay. This is one of the lesser assigned value guide books I own.

I found this book very good for my research and although the photographs are a little less than I expected, they show the item well enough there are only a few that look less than professional.

The book released in 2005 reflects current pricing and value. I do not understand how the other reviewer said they were grossly off?? The market changes, one year a necklace will sell for 200.00 the next year perhaps 100.00, with the gas issue and the war the higher value guide book frankly are a bit off. This book I feel is more on value then the others.. The AB crystal necklace section I did find a bit high on the values though..That is about the only part I agree on with the other reviewer.

The values given in collection books usually are used for insurance and not for actual sale.. This si why they are usually higher than what they would sell for on the market.
That is why you find such a difference in pricing..

Your best bet is to watch ebay and ruby lane for current pricing on an item and what they actually sell for. But keep in mind that there has been a lull in costume jewelry that should pick up real soon but who knows as the war continues and gas prices climb to 4.00+.. (yikes)

Use these books to estimate the value, this is a range to use not a written in stone on top of a mountain rule as are all collector books!

I suggest getting this book because it does have a large assortment of different types of jewelry as well as compacts and belts.

What I didn't like about it is that it is not in any kind of real order. Also there was a marked lack of Juliana jewelry. There is no information about the makers, only photo value and description. However, I use other books for that. I got this book because I wanted to see a varity of items not just Trifari, Coro.. etc.

Still a good book to own because there is a lot of unusual signed and unsigned jewelry in it.

20th Century Costume Jewelry is Not in My Century.......2005-03-03

This book was purchased along with the sister, companion, Brilliant Rhinestones. While I can appreciate the time that the author has devoted to her book (per review on Brilliant Rhinestones obviously by the author's husband) feel that the quality of the photographs is very poor. When I spend money like this on a book, expect jewelry that looks like I want to reach out and pick it up. Many of the darker items are washed out in the background. Felt that the prices were a little overinflated. The concepts for the books are excellent, but this author needs to work on her photography.

Bad info, misleading price guide!.......2004-12-25

I just purchased this book and am VERY disappointed in the lack of information and misleading prices. Only a few pages of minimal information and the rest is photos of lackluster jewelry at grossly overinflated priced. Seems like no research was done, and prices should definitely not be used as any kind of price guideline. Save your money for much better jewelry books for your library!

Book Description

The Ten Houses series makes the most important elements of architectural design available to a large and varied audience. Each infinitely useful volume presents one of the world's foremost architects and features 10 of his or her finest residential works-including presentation, drawings, sketches, and working drawings. These full-color, highly affordable volumes will enhance any library, providing an essential reference for architecture students and individuals looking for home design ideas.

For Ace Architects, house design begins with the idiosyncrasies of their clients, including personal interests, program, site, context, and budget. They are especially interested in those occasions, often somewhat eccentric ones, which lead to the design of places intimately suited to their inhabitants and unlike all other places. They feel the best houses provoke a nearly palpable sensation of their inhabitants, even when unoccupied. Such a philosophy is illustrated in this monograph that includes ten of Ace Architects' energetic, colorful, and spatially charged residences. Ace Architects is based in Oakland, California.

Vividly polychromatic.......2005-03-06

From the publisher: Often exuberant, spatially charged, and vividly polychromatic, as well as flat-out fun, Ace places are the antithesis of the current vogue for cool, minimal, abstract, and modern.
Ace has received a range of architectural distinctions, including awards from the Graham Foundation, American Institute of Architects, and California Preservation Foundation. The firm has twice been included in Architectural Digest's "AD 100." "
From Builders Booksite: We are fortunate to be in the playground of Ace Architects and are inspired, amused, and informed by their work around the Bay Area. This little book has 124 pages, 100+ photographs and numerous drawings, paperback. Rockport Publishers (5/2000)

Another great book in the CWA series!.......2001-11-29

This firm knows how to have fun! Not my style, but definitely interesting.

The photography is very nice and the drawings and text are very well laid out. I would highly recommend this book, and two others from this series: Rebecca Binder & Lake Flato.

Excellent activities, not only for use by the therapist.......2002-08-26

This series gives great assignments, which are especially useful in assigning for homework. The categories of activities are helpful in determining what activites will be appropriate with goals the client is working on. I appreciate that there are mutliple activites for each target area. This allows me to work through a spectrum of approaches to the same issue. The kids seem able to relate to the stories in the exercises. I have found the activities helpful in beginning to get them to approach difficult subjects, without feeling like they are in the 'hot seat'.

I use Ann's book to guide my classes in an adult psychiatric setting. Some adaptation is needed but developmentally, these adults need this information that they did not get as adolescents. It's very helpful.

Book Description

Now back in print, this bestseller by Mel Torme is a brilliant biography of his friend of forty years, Buddy Rich, who was one of the most famous drummers of the Swing Era, having starred in the Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey bands. His career started when he was two years old in his parents' Vaudeville act, and by the time he was four he was the highest paid child performer in the world. The Buddy Rich story is a fascinating one, as much for what it says about the world of American music and entertainment as for the remarkable life it portrays. Drawing from interviews and many personal reminiscences, Torme packs this biography with vivid, often funny, anecdotes. His personal touch and his in-depth knowledge of jazz make for a moving, insightful, and often hilarious biography. 233 pages, 6-1/2 inch. x 9-1/2 inch. Softcover

Customer Reviews:

A Fair-Minded Biography of the Greatest Technical Drum Soloist Ever.......2006-08-06

Mel Torme is not a genius of prose or of the biography genre, but he isn't unreadable either, and literary standards these days are low anyway. Besides, Mel Torme KNEW Rich for much of Rich's life. Buddy Rich asked Torme to write a fair biography, and that is what Torme has done. If you want to learn about the life of the greatest technical drum soloist of all time, this is the book to buy. I like the pictures, too. (How's that for genius in prose?)

A great story, but...........2000-01-25

A great story, but.... The Buddy Rich story had to be told, and on the whole Tormé does it with honesty and humour. His writing, however, suffers from a number of bad mixed metaphors, and there is a dreadful editing mistake when the lead in quote to one of the final chapters is dated as being at Rich's birthday party in 1988. He died in 1987. These qualms aside, the book is easy reading, with many funny anecdotes. The view of the jazz scene is predictably white and cronyish, but the main interest is Rich's extraordinary life and talent.

This is the best book I ever read!.......1999-03-16

This book is outstanding! Anyone who really likes the drums or drummers (mainly Buddy Rich), definitly has to read this book. It is a very detailed but a very easy reading book. It not only covers his life, it also has a section called "Sidebars", and gives more detail (exe: Buddy's Passions, Buddy's Beliefs, Buddy On Film, etc.) I think it should win an award!

A real treat for drummers and non-drummers alike........1998-12-20

Being a big fan of the late Buddy Rich, I was searching for a book that not only chronicled his life, but gave me insight into the legend. This book did it all. I could not put the book down. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys drumming, jazz or just a good biography. Hats off to Mel Torme. His book is wonderful.

Book Description

This unique study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the changing problem of `Jewishness' in a German environment as it presented itself to a privileged group of Jews. Following on from Jews in the German Economy (OUP, 1987), which analysed the economic activities of this elite, it presents a detailed picture of the group's socio-cultural profile. Based largely on autobiographical material, it covers such matters as attitudes to Judaism, relations at different levels with Gentiles and with other Jews, marriage patterns, the public role, political culture, cultural activities, and patronage. The major underlying theme is the conflict between preservation of the Jewish identity, and integration into the surrounding society. Different forms of self-identification are examined, as well as various patterns of conformity.

Too many anecdotes not enough analysis.......2003-03-13

Lifestyles of the German-Jewish Elite

W. E. Mosse embarks on an elaboration of the German-Jewish Elite between 1820-1935 in his appropriately titled: The German-Jewish Economic Elite 1820-1935: A Socio-cultural Profile. This book was published in 1989, just two years after another book of his which dealt with the same topic of German-Jewish economic elite, but in a more generic, abstract, and statistically loaded way: Jews in the German-Jewish Economy: The German-Jewish Economic Elite1820-1935. There is a difference between the two books, the earlier tackles the issue of Jewish entrepreneurs in Germany and extensively defines the German-Jewish elite in relation to the German economy. The book in discussion here is more concerned with the mentality, social position, and politics of these elite members of society.

Mosse goes to great lengths in the newer book to explain the precarious social position of the German-Jewish elite. They were not permitted political power, but were revered for their economic knowledge. These Jews were excluded by their Christian counterparts and relegated to a lower social standing despite their education, and economic attainment.

The hard data and general evaluations are absent from this volume; they are replaced with anecdotes of the German-Jewish elite. Mosse provides a valuable manuscript in choosing a variety of families and characters for discussion. Families' marriages, social positions, political standing, and economic endeavors are thoroughly examined. It seems that the two volumes read in cooperation would provide one with a more accurate picture of the Jewish elites in Germany during this time period. The latter book spends almost all of its pages chronicling prominent Jews lives. These stories show the spectrum of identity of the German-Jewish elite, but where the rest of the elite identify on this continuum is never entertained. In the process of these details the overall picture of the role of the German-Jewish elite is absent.
The Jewish elite were subjected to prejudice based on economic and social interests. To which they could have responded in three ways: assimilation (which is what Sholem believes the elite did), emigration, or opposition. These options roughly correspond to the manner in which elites wrestled with their dual German-Jewish identity. Jews did not really emigrate, but many were willing to retain their status as outsiders. Mosse goes to great lengths to show the elaborate networks and intricate relationships Jews maintained in the face of the opposition they confronted by the German elite.

Mosse states at the beginning that one of his motivations in writing this book is to disprove the willful, welcomed assimilation that Gershom Sholem assigns to the elite German-Jews. It is evident to both of these writers that the Jew had an identity conflict in German society. How are the Jews to reconcile their second-class status as a result of their religion with their nationalistic aspirations of being German? Mosse thinks that Sholem portrays the Jews as too compromising and homogenized. Mosse contends that Sholem portrayed a too simplified examination of the elite class, and that there were three different routes that Jews took to identify themselves in this German period. The first option was baptism and therefore a renunciation of the Jewish religion and people, often resenting the "backward, superstition" of one's Jewish heritage. Sholem only presents this alternative, he believed this was the only route that the German-Jewish elite followed because they wanted to be a part of the German elite and were willing to pay any price to achieve acceptance. Although as Mosse and Sholem both contend this baptism did not afford these individuals much more political or social respect. Another way for Jews to reconcile their Jewish and German identity was to retain their Jewish networks but not their religion, or affiliation with a synagogue. The last alternative for Jewish elites was full retention of their Jewish heritage including their religion and culture. Mosse objectively portrays characters of each of these mentalities to the reader. He makes the point that none of these was able to integrate into society any easier than the other.

The books greatest flaw, which definitely hindered my understanding at some points, is the amount of German language used in the argument. Important quotes are rarely translated and diary entries of those discussed, which are a major source for information for this work, were always left in the writers' native German. The other disappointment is the lack of general conclusion Mosse was willing to make. There is an elaborate discussion of individuals, including colorful anecdotes, autobiographical information, and correspondence between Jewish elites, but there is little overview and application of the material. There needs to be a happy medium between Mosse's two books on the German-Jewish elite. The reader would be benefited if Mosse used the anecdotes and stories of these individuals to explain trends and the social and political position of the German-Jewish elite.
