Cameos: Old & New by Anna M. Miller, G.G.

"Retailers must grab this! It is good for you, good for your business, good to give to your customers. Unlike some reference books that are used a page or chapter at a time to answer a question, this book is best enjoyed from cover to cover. 'Cameos Old & New' is not just a reference; it is The reference for cameos." -- Karen Tweedie, Bulletin of the New York Mineralogical Club, and also Southern Jewelry News, Spring 2009 "This is a must-have for anyone involved along the path cameos take, from start to finish, into the market place, and beyond." -- Gem News "Any library strong in collecting will find here a unique acquisition." -- Midwest Book Review "Comprehensive reference guide" -- Jewelry Artist
