Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

It has been very difficult over the years for collectors to know
just what has been produced from the works of Tolkien, and where it
can be purchased. There is not, and has never been, any 'official'
Lord of the Rings cataloguing. Clear and specific documentation has
been almost impossible to find, and any listing that has been
available has been a patchwork at best. Over the last few years,
the Internet has become a great source of assistance through
various webrings that connect the many Lord of the Rings fans. This
four-colour, highly graphic book will provide information on all
things Tolkien; books, calendars, toys and movie memorabilia. Both
the novice and die-hard collector will find this guide helpful and
like the new film trilogy from Peter Jackson, make us believe
again.

This book provides a detailed classification of all the varieties
of dumps, and is unequalled as a collector's guide to these unique
English folk art antiques. This book is the most complete guide to
English bottle glass dumps, doorstops and paperweights ever
published. It contains almost 500 colour photographs ranging from
Kilner bubble dumps from the 1830s, to elaborate floral ornaments
and sulphide inclusions from the early 1900s. Of particular
interest to the serious collector will be the 15 examples of rare
garnitures (sets of three dumps), several examples of very rare
Redfearn weights, an exceptionally large variety of sulphide
inclusions, dumps with coloured glass centres to their flowers,
flowers with blue or gold petals, and many other rarities and
curiosities. There are examples in green, turquoise, blue, amber
and amethyst glass. The book includes information on dump damage
and restoration, and how to assess and value dumps, together with a
price guide.

The most-respected text on manufactured American silver has now
gone one step further. The authors have updated the text and added
photos to now include over 2400 marks illustrated with brief
histories and cross references of more than 1600 manufacturers. The
result is the most comprehensive reference source on the subject.
The very first book devoted to antique silver lemon strainers, this
is the fruit of a decade's research by a biology teacher turned
silver expert who gives equal weight to analysis and aesthetics.
Lemon strainers, normally consigned to the 'miscellany' pages of
antique silver guides, are varied, beautiful and collectable and
survive in surprising numbers considering their 150 years of use in
punch making ended 200 years ago: the author's database contains
900 examples from England, Ireland, Scotland and America. After an
extensive introduction, lemon strainers are described in 27
categories and lavishly illustrated with 268 figures.
