"Probably the number one essential book for costume jewelry collectors is this wonderful, informative book by Julia Carroll. I do not know if Caroll started the Costume Jewelry collecting craze but she has certainly influenced it. From what to collect and how to collect, this book will keep you on track and save you so-o-o much money by alerting you to what not to buy. Beautifully illustrated with designers and their most collectable pieces, Carroll does a particularly nice job explaining the basics to collectors. She goes on to discuss in detail 4 design companies perfect for beginning collectors--Coro, Weiss, Lisner and Kramer. This is a very helpful book for both the beginner and the advanced costume jewelry collector. Values for jewelry selections are also given, and reflect realistic market prices."
