| Wonderful New Book on Antique Boxes "Antique Boxes - Inside and Out" by Genevieve Cummins If you love antique sewing boxes and sets, you'll definitely want to have this book. It's brand new and by the author who wrote "Chatelaines, Utility to Glorious Extravagance" with Nerylla Taunton. It actually covers all kinds of antique boxes, including those for writing, tea, games, travel, food, spices, snuff, medical items, money, painting, music, jewelry and too many others to mention. Her research is excellent and the chapters on sewing sets, boxes and worktables are fantastic. The pictures are gorgeous and all in color (I've shown several below). It's a coffee table sized book with 439 pages, over 800 color plates and it measures 9 1/2" by 12". These are new copies, published in the UK with a 2006 copyright. ISBN 1 85149 502 9  |
