Overall Comments: This book makes for a great quick reference on silver jewelry. Since I love silver, this is the first book I grab when I have a piece with a unknown mark. Since the book is a quick reference and does not go into great detail, it leaves plenty of room to include more of the less known silver makers of the world, and the book includes a lot of them!
