Negative Positive
Title: Not recommended
Review: Most of the pictures in this book are too small and of such poor quality that the details and colors of the transferware are unclear. Even so, the material is not nearly comprehensive enough to be called an encyclopedia. The subtitle is misleading as items are dated but there is no arrangement by dates. I still intended to give this book a 2 out of 5, however, until I read the introduction. There the author claims the book is special because "for the first time" a book on transferware is arranged by pattern. Guess she never heard of Petra Williams?
Is the review positive or negative?
