Blue embossed cloth with gilt letters on spine and front cover and gilt decoration on front coverl; aqua paper dust jacket. 312 pp. 60 plates, color frontispiece, w/ tissue guard.

And to a Collector how much this knowledge increases not only the interest, but also the value, of an old Derby piece. One may have a beautiful old picture, or a fine statue, which may be something which is charming and artistically satisfying; but if one knows not the artist or the sculptor, it has lost nine-tenths of its interst and value. The examples illustrated here are selected for the most part with the same object; many from the Author's collection." (preface) A better-than-average copy of this book, in an uncommon dust jacket. VG- (DJ has moderate wear and aging; carries embossed i.d. stamp from previous owner; pages are crisp and clean.).…

Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
