Kovels' American Silver Marks Reviews

Review by graper@mail.hcnews.com:

While not the definitive reference that Jackson's book is on English silver, the Kovels do provide an extensive listing of American silversmiths and manufacturers. A person cannot be a serious collector of American antique silver without this book.

Review by Susan A. Larry:

Unless already know the name of the maker, it's fairly difficult to look up a unknown, cryptic mark. I have to thumb through the whole book to find the mark I'm searching for. There is no cross reference section.
The book is organized and alphabetized by maker.
Unfortunately, there's very little information about the maker him/herself. Just circa and location. That's it. If I wanted to know more about a specific maker, I would have to refer to the bibliography section and buy another book.
I expected much more from Kovels.

Choral Music of Edward Elgar Reviews

Review by Mary E. White:

Elgar is best known for "Pomp and Circumstance", but his choral compositions are too beautiful to ignore. This recording of fifteen pieces, sung by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, is a treat for anyone who loves fine choral performance. As a choir director, I am especially interested in learning of new-to-me repertoire, and was pleased to hear some possibilities for Sunday services. A pleasure to hear such lovely singing.
