“To the ever-increasing number of collectors who are taking an interest in old English pottery ... will be found one of the most delightful, as it is a practical work on a fascinating subject.”
“Here we have a handbook, written by a well-known authority, which gives in the concisest possible form all the information that the beginner in earthenware collecting is likely to need. Moreover, it contains one or two features that are not usually found in the multifarious ‘guides’ that are produced to-day.”
=Chats on Autographs.= By A. M. BROADLEY. With 130 Illustrations.
“Being an expert collector, Mr. Broadley not only discourses on the kinds of autograph he owns, but gives some excellent cautionary advice and a valuable ‘caveat emptor’ chapter for the benefit of other collectors.”
“It is assuredly the best work of the kind yet given to the public; and supplies the intending collector with the various sources of information necessary to his equipment.”
=Chats on Old Pewter.= By H. J. L. J. MASSÉ, M.A. With 52 half-tone and numerous other Illustrations.
“It is a remarkably thorough and well-arranged guide to the subject, supplied with useful illustrations and with lists of pewterers and of their marks so complete as to make it a very complete and satisfactory book of reference.”
“Before setting out to collect old pewter it would be as well to read Mr. Massé’s book, which is exhaustive in its information and its lists of pewterers, analytical index, and historical and technical chapters.”
=Chats on Postage Stamps.= By FRED J. MELVILLE. With 57 half-tone and 17 line Illustrations.
“The whole book, with its numerous illustrations of excellent quality, is a _vade mecum_ for stamp collectors, even though their efforts may be but modest; we congratulate Mr. Melville on a remarkably good guide, which makes fascinating reading.”
“There is no doubt that Mr. Melville’s book fills a void. There is nothing exactly like it. Agreeably written in a popular style and adequately illustrated, it is certainly one of the best guides to philatelic knowledge that have yet been published.”
