An essential for Valentine Collectors

Kreider has three books on the subject of vintage valentines. Along with the book from Robert Brenner, they are the best resources available for learning more about the companies and artists that created these objects of affection.

From one of seven loving grandchildren

This book was sent to my father Dr. John G. Scott, Jr. by my aunt Jean Stauffer, who is the oldest serviving member of the John Green Scott Sr. family. Both who are over 80 now loved this book and it has been greatly enjoyed by Dr. John G. Scott III, Charles D. Scott, James E. Scott, Myself and all of our family which extends to four more generations including John G. Scott, IV. Our grandfathter was not only a fine commercial artist with the Gibson Card Company for 30 years but was also a great landscape and protrait artist and also a respected four term state legislator and 40 year hospital administrator. Art was always his first love and the portions of this book with his work are a reflection of that love and will be treasured by all, especially by the people of Pennsylvania where he spent his entire life.
