Interest in collecting popular culture has mushroomed in the United States, especially in the past 20 years. While the term ephemera partly applies to the collectibles described here, the authors center on items that are specifically made of or printed on paper. An update on American paper is long overdue; one of the last books to be published on the subject was the Official Price Guide to Paper Collectibles (House of Collectibles, 1986. 5th ed.). General but very utilitarian, Warman's Paper covers a history of the field, describes pertinent terminology and the care of paper, contains addresses for shows and auction houses, and discusses the current market. Designed to be searched either by topic or subject, it offers prices for items like broadsides, animation cells, and sheet music that are hard to find in conventional price guides. Best for public libraries. Susan Olcott, Columbus Metropolitan Lib., Ohio Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. |
