Over 600 color photographs feature fashion accessories, toys, dolls, decorative boxes and albums, household and utilitarian articles, grooming aids, and advertising novelties. A chapter on the invention of celluloid and the pyroxylin plastics industry in America, a discussion on care and preservation of celluloid, and a timeline of developments are provided in this vast resource. 2001 values. AUTHORBIO: Keith Lauer is the curator of the National Plastic Center and Museum of Leominster and a native of Marietta, Ohio. Following his semi-retirement he pursued his interest in the history of the plastics industry and its artifacts. He entered local politics and served as a city council member for 14 years. He is a member of the American Plastics History Association, the Plastics Historical Society, the Plastics Pioneers Association, and the Antique Comb Collectors Club International. AUTHORBIO: Julie Robinson lives in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York and is the mother of four children. A native of Fayette, Maine, and long-time collector of antiques, in 1991 she enrolled at the Institute for the Study of Antiques and Collectibles in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. As a student, a required research paper began her involvement with celluloid. She is a member of the American Plastics Association, and a freelance writer/photographer. REVIEW: Though many books have been produced on celluloid, this is the first attempt to produce an historically accurate account of the early American pyroxylin plastics industry and the collectible articles produced by the manufacturers thereof. It offers information in word and graphics that will help others share in the satisfaction of collecting and preserving some of the approximately 50,000 different products that have been made of celluloid since its development.

Collecting Japanese Antiques shows what makes Japanese aesthetics so different from other countries. Antique hunters will benefit from the practical and cautionary advice in this book; newcomers will appreciate information on the basics of collecting; while other sections might reawaken interest in experienced collectors. Striking photographs highlight the beauty and craftsmanship of items such as solid wood chests and elegant prints and ceramics. A glossary explains antique-related Japanese terms.
