Customer Reviews

One can garner some great display ideas from this book

I loved the African mask wall display on pages 12/13. The book includes ideas for tabletop, wall, and mantel displays as well as integrating a collection thoughout a whole room. Drawbacks include some repetition of subjects in photos, some photos too close up to see the overall effect of the display and other photos too cluttered by too wide a shot where the room's furnishings distract from the displayed collection. Despite those criticisms, it's worth a look for anyone who collects.
