About this title

From the Author

The following is an overview of our book.
* Over 550 motion lamps described, including many rare pieces. * Over 750 individual photos and many scarce original documents. * Lamps covered span the early years of the twentieth century right up to current production models. * Accurate, up-to-date pricing and rarity guide for each lamp. * Special chapters on advertising lamps, psychedelic lamps, and European lamps. * Bonus chapter on creating original lamps. * Expert tips on maintenance, troubleshooting, and restoration. * Written by recognized leaders in the field. * Foreword by Penny Marshall.

With the release of the 1991 pioneer book "Animated Motion Lamps" by Bill and Linda Montgomery (L-W Books, out of print), prices of motion lamps began skyrocketing. That work pictured 110 lamps and contained no descriptive information. This new book fully describes the motion of each lamp, lists every known variation or alternate releases, and includes much practical information about each piece. While featuring examples from the best collections known, it will appeal to those interested in collecting as well as to those who want to deal in lamps. This work is rich in detail and is much more than just a photo price guide. It is sure to become the "bible" of the collecting field. When you pick up a copy you will soon discover what we call "motion sickness" and you may never be the same again!!
