Aquila Chrysaetos said Good reference with a couple faults. The photography in this book is marvelous. I did think the repeated images on pages 8"Good reference with a couple faults" according to Aquila Chrysaetos. The photography in this book is marvelous. I did think the repeated images on pages 82 - 85 rather odd. I would have preferred much larger single images. I felt like it was wasting page space to do that. There are other pages that have blank areas that could have been filled with larger pictures.There is one fault in this book that gives me pause: On page 202 is pictured an egg shaped latticino paperweight with scattered millefiori. That paperweight is not Fratelli Toso. It's a Chinese imitation. Fratelli's eggs have a different . - 85 rather odd. I would have preferred much larger single images.
