The ...             Segmented Wood Turning (Schiffer Book for Woodworkers)7 reviews William Smith Schiffer Publishing, 2005 An extremely well-written, easy to follow how-to book! I was fortunate enough to see a live demo that the author gave at my turning club's meeting. Prior to that, I hadn't had much interest in open-segmented turning. It's not that I didn't think it was interesting, I just didn't think I had the equipment needed for such precise work, or the patience or time needed to devote to it. But seeing Bill's work, as well as seeing how easy he makes it to do ...             The World of Bertoia (Schiffer Art Book)1 review Nancy N. Schiffer, Val O. Bertoia Schiffer Publishing, 2003 This is THE book on Bertoia This is a fantastic overview of modern art genius Harry Bertoia, including numerous quotes, biography, early pictures, and family background.

Travis Smith's Kitschmasland is an homage to the quirky, kitschy, holiday trimmings of more innocent, less consumer-crazed times. I was thrilled to see the felted Santas, bottle-brush trees and ceramic elves that decorated my parent's and grandparent's houses back when Christmas season officially started after Thanksgiving and endowed December with a magical quality. His collections span the ...             Dinky Toys (Schiffer Book for Collectors)3 reviews Edward, Dr. Force Schiffer Publishing, 2009 A very handsome catalogue This is a very handsome and useful book, in which all models made by Dinky Toys, even from Hong Kong ,are displayed in color.With exception of the airplanes and some of the extraordinary sets, the models are not photographed in detail. Much information about the models is not given (in my opinion not necessary). At the end, prices are given, but these will certainly vary depending on the ...             Ostfront 1944: The German Defensive Battles on the Russian Front 1944 (Schiffer Military History)5 reviews Alex Buchner Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 1991 Excellent blend of tactics with personal accounts I was lucky enough to find this book at a local book store. If you can find it, buy it. It documents six eastern front battles in 1944 where large numbers of German troops were surrounded and eventually destroyed or captured. Battles include Cherkassy, Ternopol, the Crimea, Bagration, Brody, and destruction of the Sixth Army in Romania. The book puts the history in very personal terms. A few ...             The Skull & Crossbones Squadron: VF-17 in World War II (Schiffer Military/Aviation History)4 reviews Lee Cook Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 1998 This is the real stuff carefully & meticulously documented. This review is not a review. My Jolly Rogers shipmates and I lived it and some of us died in the struggle for the Solomon Islands and the Japanese kingpin at Rabaul. My good friend Lee Cook from faraway England dedicated himself to this task for the better part of four years, and succeeded admirably. We were bentwing Corsair fighter pilots. We gave it our best. For a time we were the uttermost ...             Panzertruppen: The Complete Guide to the Creation & Combat Employment of Germanys Tank Force 1933-1942 ...6 reviews Thomas L. Jentz Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 1996 Essential to any WWII historian Both this volume and volume 2, are excellent sources of primary documentation. Both use war diary, and after-action reports to describe tactics and weapons evolution. As I said in a review of vol.2, by allowing the crews and their platoon-battalion commanders to speak the book has an immediacy that can't be duplicated in other works of the same subject. The author assumes the reader has at ...             The Story of Antique Needlework Tools (Schiffer Book for Collectors.)1 review Bridget McConnel Schiffer Publishing, 1999 Comprehensive and Visually Appealing I really love this book.

Schiffer Publishing, 1997 This is the definitive book about brass objects. Large sections are devoted to andirons, candlesticks, fireplace accessories, kettles and tobacco boxes. There are useful dating charts for andirons and candlesticks. Each of these sections is more complete than any previous volume, and could have been published as a separate book.

(Schiffer Book for Collectors with Price Guide) Deborah Crosby Schiffer Publishing, 2005 Lavishly illustrated and extensively researched, this fascinating book chronicles the widening accessibility of jewelry between 1860 and 1960. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, only the affluent could afford many pieces of jewelry. In the mid-nineteenth century, however, industrialization led jewelry to become more affordable and the rising middle class created a larger market.

While I'm sure there are better translators out there, the book is readable & to criticize is a bit unfair. I wish more books like this would come out, dedicated to specific battles, rather than a whole Army Group.             Carving Realistic Faces With Power (Schiffer Book for Carvers)2 reviews Frank C. Russell Schiffer Publishing, 1993 Incredible start to learning Power carving I did not buy the book to look at his Face carvings, although I do not think they are bad like the previous reviewer has stated.
