Overall Comments:
I keep asking myself “Why do I have this book” . The only thing that comes to mind is that it has some really Great Pictures.
The information is very basic plastic info and the Modern Designers section would have been a really nice addition if a little more effort was made to show pictures of their marks.  Most of the Modern Artists are signing their work and a few closeups would have been nice.
This will make for a great picture book to leave on the coffee table.
