Reader Reviews
Ms Strumpf's book is an interesting mix of travelogue and beginner's guide to collecting Limoges boxes. Her section on the city of Limoges is very well done and interesting, and not readily available elsewhere. Additionally, her basic information on the boxes and tips for collectors is quite useful to someone just starting out, or without an in-depth background. There were some disappointments in her book, however. For example, her bibliography is quite extensive, but there are some glaring and important omissions, such as the Sonking and Waterbrook-Clyde books. Her photographs are lovely, but the captions give no pertinent information regarding size, manufacturer, etc. And her history of Limoges porcelain is a retelling of local legends rather than grounded in detailed history. Again, this is a very good resource for someone newly interested in the boxes, but a serious collector may find it a little light weight.
