Summary: MEXICAN SILVER BY MORRILL
Review: ABSOLUTELY A MUST FOR THE MEXICAN SILVER COLLECTOR WITH AMPLE PICTURES TO GO WITH THE TEXT. THE BOOK IS WELL WRITTEN WITH PASSAGES ABOUT THE TRUE MASTERS OF THE TAXCO AREA ALONG WITH THEIR COHORTS. IT SHOWS THE HALLMARKS OR TOUCH MARKS ON THE WORK OF THE MASTERS,THIS PROVES TO BE A GODSEND IN IDENTIFING AND UNDERSTANDING THE VALUES OF THIS VERY COLLECTABLE SILVER.IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTIONG MEXICAN SILVER I HAD SUSPECTED THAT SOME DAY, SOMEONE WOULD PUT OUT A KNOWLEDGABLE HANDBOOK FOR THE TRADE AND SPOTLIGHT THE SPRATLINGS, DAVIS AND OTHER ARTISTS. A BIG THANKS GOES TO PENNY MORRILL, AND HERE STAFF.i.e CAROL BERK

Summary: Mexican Silver's artful insight
Review: The is virtually pure eye candy for any one who appreciates this type of fine craftmanship. I like the over 400 color photographs. This is the best way for someone to get the true feeling of this type of art. I missed some kind of explanation of rarity for some of these creations. This was one of the main reasons I was looking for this kind of reference. Nonetheless this is an exquisite reference book with 272pp and a feast for the eyes. It's worth the price.
