Iphone Arm Band - iphone, armband

This armband holds the iphone nicely but has two serious design flaws.

1st is that it barely fit my arm. I'm not fat and have normal to large arms and it was squeezing my bicep. So if you have big arms forget it.

2nd is that this case offers no protection from sweat. It's supposed to be for working out but if you happen to sweat when you work out (most people do). the neoprene gets soaked and so does the phone. That's unacceptable to me.

If you want an armband for walking around the house and don't have large arms it's great, but otherwise stay away. Eforcity Sport Armband Case Cover for iPhone 3G (Black)

All I can say is that this product is the biggest piece of junk. It ripped within ten minutes of my first workout and is now useless. I am going to try to return it asap. Don't even bother wasting your money on this!!!!

I bought this armband based on other reviews here at Amazon and because the price was low. Unfortunately, this band did not work out for me. First of all, I've run 13 marathons and I run six days a week. I usually run with my Ipod Nano and a Garmin GPS watch, so I thought why not run with my Iphone 3G that has both an mp3 player and a built-in GPS, when used with the Runkeeper App?

Out of the box, I could tell immediately this was not a high quality product. The materials and construction are, well, cheap. Most of the band is made of neoprene and there's a see-through plastic cover that goes over the touchscreen. With that said, I had no problem inserting the phone in and out of the sleeve. Putting the armbelt on, however, is an issue since it is a bit short to wrap around the diameter of most men's biceps. It seems to fit best for me on the lower portion of my bicep next to my elbow, which seems a bit akward given the substantial weight and size of the Iphone. Everything seemed to work fine during my run until about mile five. That's when I noticed condensation building up inside the see-through plastic cover. The neoprene band was absorbing my sweat and it was getting inside the sleeve. This caused the controls to start freaking out. The songs started fast forwarding and jumping around. Fortunately, I was able to air it my Iphone and it works fine now, but I'm now searching for a better armband. This armband might work fine for use while walking or for folks that only run a few miles. Personally I'd rather spend more money on a good quality armband that won't ruin my phone. Happy running.

Though it's held okay on my forearm, it squeezes the phone so badly that it actually disabled the phone usage. Also, as the iphone is inside the case, you lose access to the buttons and the ear phone plugin on the top and LHS of the device. Not good. Also, the plastic cover on the screen is not flat...

I want buyers to beware, I bought what I thought was the above, however when my product came it looked nothing like the picture above..... I bought mine from the Amazon seller: United Integral. I am very much unhappy with this purchase!!!! Mine looks like a small mp4 player won't fit into it, much less a IPhone which it was supposed to be designed for. Also it looks as if someone cut one of the straps from it. All in all, beware if buying from United Integral. - Iphone Armband - Exercise - Iphone - Armband'

As a university Professor, I highly recommend this book. It covers all the fundamentals of Design, from historical background to all interior design mchanics. This is it!

If you are an Interior Design student or professor, you will enjoy reading this book, I highly recommend it. Mr. Pile is an authority in this subject, I have been teaching and reading his books for over 3 decades.

I give high rating, enjoy learning.

Michele Beatriz Interior Design (4th Edition)

John Pile's this book and his other book on color are absolutely the best books I have ever laid my hands on. These books are what every magazine article is about; most books on interiors have about a 1/10 of what is in these two books. REcommended for serious homeowners and professionals.

I purchased this book for my Interior Design Class. There is just a lot of great information . The History of Design, architure, decortive art, mordern history; noted designers, different eras of design, dating back to the 1700's. Just a fablous texbook reference tool.

THIS IS THE MOST THOROUGH RESOURCE I HAVE READ. THE PICTURES ACCOMPANYING THE TEXT ILLUSTRATE THE STYLES AND PRINCIPLES PUT FORTH BY THE AUTHOR. I AM ABLE TO USE THIS BOOK AS A REFERENCE FOR SEVERAL OTHER COURSES.

I bought the 4th edition book for an intro class I'm taking in Decorating and Design. John Pile has provided a well written resource, including great photos, explanations, and very good fundamental information. Overall it is a great go-to book for those seriously interested in the basic anatomy of a great design. - Textbook - Reference'

720p Projector - home entertainment projectors, 3d ready

Visit Store Now !!

Great product! Owned this for 2 days now and love it! Got my Xbox 360, Wii, and computer all hooked up to this baby and am not looking back.

There is definatly a downside which I have mostly remedied, however, most people will not be able to. The thing is that this projector has NO AUDIO OUTPUT. Which is weird considering it has HDMI and such. This means if you connect something with the HDMI, you are stuck using the build in speaker for audio. Bummer. Also, if you connect using the y/r/w cables you are also stuck using the internal speaker, but if you have a stereo like I do, connect it to the stereo and run it to the projector. Not that the internal speaker sounds bad, it actually sounds great, but it's just not the best while watching home movies or gaming.

Great picture quality and projects and image of about 5 1/2' x 7'. Actually is slightly bigger, but roughly that size. I'm very happy with my projector.

UPDATE LOST ONE STAR*- Projector did not work today, first time since I bought it (6 monthsish). Ive mostly used it on economy setting. I hear a rattling like broken pieces of something, and after disassembling it, there might be a big problem. Projector wasn't dropped, hit or anything, it sits far above and out of reach. I now have to hopefully find a resolution, either something exploded inside, or bulb burst. Im 50/50 on which it is right now. Ill update ASAP

UPDATE TO UPDATE-5TH STAR RETURNED- So the reason is my bulb had exploded. First I was upset and believed it to be an equipment issue, but after realizing the extension cord I run this from was unplugged, I put 2 and 2 together. Cord unplugged while running (even in low power mode) will cause the bulb to not cool down while being around the already cool surroundings = BOOM goes the dynamite (bulb). So this was my bad (or another occupant), and not the projector. I'd give it 5 1/2 stars now for doubting it. Ha ha, enjoy and don't accidentally unplug this!!!! Vivitek D510 2600 Lumen SVGA HDMI 120Hz 3D-Ready Portable DLP Projector (White)

I purchased this machine to use in the classroom. It performs wonderfully for the intended purpose. It's relatively small and light. Has a reasonably powerful projection image. And it works seamlessly with both my PC and my Macbook Pro. Like all such projectors, it runs very hot and one has to be careful stowing it away after use. But I've gotten used to cooling it down and handling it carefully. I can't comment on its durability since I've only used it a dozen or so times. It does have a slightly cheap, plastic feel to it. But as long as it does the job, who cares what it feels like. I wouldn't recommend this for large rooms. My guess is its range is probably limited to 30 feet (I use it in a seminar room in which the screen is only 12 feet from the projector. Works great in that situation.) In short, I can't complain. It's a good product for occasional use in small to medium size rooms.

It's very nice DLP projector and the price is nicer. BUT if it's a priority to play 3D blu-ray movies on this projector USING a 3D blu-ray disc player then stop. Don't buy it (at least now). Any 3D DLP projector and any 3d Blue-ray player are NOT directly compatible (again as of today). Unless if you want to play your 3D DVD's using a computer with 3D video card using a 3D player software, then I think, you have a great projector.

Or if you are willing to pay about $400+ for a converter box, between the projector and the 3D player, to convert the signal form the 3D blu-ray disc player to the 3D ready DLP projector. Then I also think you have a good projector.

Or at last, if you are willing to wait (like me) until the above converter box become available from more companies, and its price become reasonable.

Unfortunately for me, none of the reviews that were posted (before I buy mine) mentioned anything about this fact. Only few stated that they have not yet tried the 3D, I wonder!

Here is the technical explanation from a technical person: "NO 3D blu-ray player, has been made so far, will give any 3D ready projector the 120Hz field sequential 3D it needs! You must convert the side by side 3D of blu-ray to 120Hz on a PC with a 3D card and 3D player application OR buy a special box which can do this. This issue is very well known for a long time". But it was not to me until I bought mine.

Two more comments,

#1- I found the UK Vivitek costumer support very much helpful to point out the compatibility issue and quick to help. They suggested few solutions along with their new (to be out) projectors series as future solution. But for the US Vivitek support they concealed that fact from me when I asked them. They said that their engineers (US engineer I believe he meant) don't know or have any data about compatibilities. What that tells me? It tells me that they're insulting my intelligent. Who would design a product and it's been on the market for a such time and don't know what is compatible with? Come on, I'm an Engineer also.

#2- At last but not least, I must mention that Amazon were unbelievable with their help and costumer support. Sorry, no room here to explain what they did to help me. Thanks Amazon.

This was my first projector and I did alot of research before buying it. It met a most of the requirements in terms of picture quality and brightness etc. Everything was ok for three months... then the pixels started dying, (which means there were dark and light spots all over the screen) within one week we had close to 30 dead pixels spread across the screen. The Amazon 30 day warranty had expired so we contacted Vivitek and that was where the real disappointment came. They never answer their telephone!!!!! They don't return messages!!!! They don't answer e mails!!!! There was no way to get a human being at this company....and I really tried. Their customer service is the worst I have ever encountered and will never buy anything marked Vivitek again. I contacted Amazon about this and they are giving me a refund so I'm buying an Epson this time. Adios Vivitek! - 3d Ready - Home Theater - Projector - Home Entertainment Projectors'

Cordless Drill - 18 volt, lithium-ion

Visit Store Now !!

I bought this tool to replace an older model I had in combo tool kit. I had bought the Makita LXT tools when they first hit the market due to their light weight and power. I have found them to be exceptional tools - good power, good battery life and overall very durable. My old drill from the kit has been used for professional installation work for high end electronics so it has seen a lot of hard use primarily drilling holes in metal and wood and also driving screws and bolts although the impact driver from my kit does most of the bolt driving. Recently the 3 speed gearbox on my drill has been slipping so I was pleased to find a bare tool replacement at a great price. You will not find this option at a box store! My batteries and charger are all in fine shape so all I needed was a new drill.

This drill is a little different than the original in that it only has a 2 speed gearbox, but if that means it'll run longer then so be it. I rarely used all 3 gears anyway. This is a great tool and the hammer drill function works as well as any portable battery drill. Bare-Tool Makita BHP452Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill (Tool Only, No Battery)

This is not my first Makita LiIon tool so i assume it will hold up as well as the others. But performance wise - it does its job very well.

I have used it for less than a week. It is a nice companion (smaller and lighter) to my BDF-451 driver. It drove 40 3" ceramic screws in 2x lumber one morning and never bogged once. Hole saws, spade bits, drywall screws in metal or wood....were not a problem.

But to be clear, I am not writing a review for a full size unit. This size and weight put it into the "compact" class, so don't expect it to do everything a larger 18v drill will do. But i would put it up against my larger Makita for 80% of my daily needs.

And you do NOT need the medium range speeds like some posters are convinced.

I first bought the bigger/beefier BHP454Z because I thought it would work with the BL 1815 battery I already have. It also includes a side mounted hand and depth stop. On arrival I found I could not mount my battery due to a small blocker they have added to that drill. So then I downloaded the manuals for both drills to find you can only use the larger BL 1830 with that drill but you can use the smaller BL 1815 with this BHP452Z. I returned the 454Z and ordered this 452Z. The drill worked fine for my small project and I will use it occasionally to anchor things to my basement walls. If I were a contractor I'd buy the other drill assuming it is more rugged than this one.

I already owned a Makita BTD141 Impact Driver set. So when I saw this bare Hammer Drill on sale I could not resist. Since it uses the same battery it was a perfect purchase. I've been using a Makita 12 volt 3/8 inch cordless driver drill for over 3 years and there were times when I really needed a 1/2 in chuck which makes this purchase even better. The BHP452 works very well. It's quality is every bit as good as my other Makita tools. Drilling holes in concrete is easy with the hammer action. The half in chuck allows me to use my largest hole saws with enough torque to got the job done. I don't have to get my corded half inch drill and extension cord out any more.

The drill feel good in the hand. It is very comfortable, not too heavy and is one of the more compact hammer drills available. Balance is good making it easy to handle and position. The belt hook comes in real handy too. Only thing I wish it had is a leveling bubble on the back and top.

You won't go wrong if you buy this drill. I noticed the comments about the batteries in some of the other reviews. I have not had any such problems with any of my Makita batteries. It might be the charger that is not working well.

It's powerful, doesn't fall apart if you drop it a few times, and like any other Makita tool... it just isn't something you worry about.

My only problem with it is the selector ring for drill/drive/hammer. The clutch ring is easy to grip and rotate but the selector ring is a bit small. The way the LED light sticks out by the trigger keeps me from getting a good grip on it. Maybe my hands are too big, but if that LED light were recessed or the ring were wider it would be much easier for me to switch between hammer and drive.

A good buying tip is to check for combo packs (with several 3 Amp batteries in them) on sale. It can be as good as just buying the battery packs except you are getting some spare tools and an extra charger for free.

I have been a Dewalt fan for years, although the first cordless drill I ever purchased was a 9 volt Makita, and was re-introduced to the Makita recently. I purchased a regular drill motor as well as this item and I am pleased with the balance and ease of use. My 18 volt Dewalt served me well but was more trouble to use because the design did not allow the drill the balance if the Makita. I'm really happy with this drill motor.

I work in remodeling, and have approximately 10 makita 18 volt lithium tools. This model had the armature go bad after about 25 hours of use over two years. The repair was no longer covered because the tool was over a year old. Considering that this is only one of 5 similar type drills I use, I believe this drill is not built to last. I have also experienced transmission problems with another year and a half bhp 454 also not covered by warranty. Perhaps we are living in a disposable society where things are no longer built to last and aren't worth the cost of repair.(Repair costs exceed purchase price)

Perhaps Milwaukee next time, I have had great success with their corded models over the years.

Reconditioned Tools - reconditioned tools, reconditioned

Visit Store Now !!

I replaced the roof on my house with this wonderful tool. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the reconditioned Bostitch roofing nailer and a new one is the price. This nail gun works wonderful and really saved my forearms. It helped in quickly aligning the shingles and the driving force was easily dialed in. Very few nails needed to be finished off with the hammer. It is easy to load and use. Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/RN46-1 3/4-Inch to 1-3/4-Inch Coil Roofing Nailer

I'm installing hardi-plank lap siding and needed a roofing gun. The Bostitch RN46 seems to be one of the most popular, and the reconditioned model costs about 5x of what the daily rental for is in my area. How could I go wrong?

The factory-reconditioned nailer arrived promptly and well packaged. (Gotta love Amazon Prime membership). When I took it out of the box, I would have sworn that it was a brand new unit. Not a scratch, mar, dent, or blemish - even the rubbery side slip-pieces (that keep it from sliding off a roof) were new. I attached a 1/4" brass air nipple (not supplied), added 3 or 4 drops of air tool oil to the air inlet, and let her rip.

Bang, Bang, Bang - this is a whole lot easier than attempting to nail siding by hand.

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Hssssssssssssss. Oh crap....

After firing only 7 nails, the unit just died. Air would hiss out from around the trigger, but the firing pin wouldn't move.

I took out the nail belt, checked the nailing pin to see if it was stuck, checked the air pressure, jumped up and down, hit my head against the wall. Nothing would work.

So I logged back onto the Amazon web site and found that Amazon has a great replacement policy. Amazon shipped me another unit which arrived the next day free of charge. They supplied me with a free mailing label to return the defective unit.

If that was the end of the story, I'd be a happy camper. I appreciate a company that stands behind its sales. Unfortunately, the story has another chapter.

The replacement unit that I received looked like it had been used for several years, fallen off a roof or two, and was left out to weather just for affect! I'd would have thought twice about it if I found it at a yard sale for $10. While it did work fine (see below), I'm disappointed that range of "factory refurbished" products could quite so large. Perhaps I just experienced the two extremes, but I'm not sure I would call the 2nd unit "refurbished".

The web page says: "Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new condition."

I'm not sure what "generally means" means, but it certainly doesn't mean "always means".

The 2nd unit works fine, and I've used it to install 40-50 courses of siding. 1-nail-in-15 will double-fire and result in a second nail being partially sunk next to the first one. Its easy to either remove it, or just pound it in. With constant pressure, 1-nail-in-10 will require an additional tap with a hammer to set it completely flush with the surface.

One tidbit that I didn't quite understand was the fact that this unit is a "bump-fire" unit (as it has a black trigger). These are great for roofing where you just want to hold the trigger and tap the nailer against the shingle several times. The grey-trigger units are "trigger-fire" units - in which you press the head against a surface, then squeeze the trigger each time you want to fire. This 2nd type of firing is slower, but allows you to better position the gun. I think for siding, a "trigger-fire" unit would have worked better than a "bump-fire" unit. For me. I have several Milwaukee nailers that allow you to switch between these 2 firing modes by just conveniently flipping a switch on the side of the unit, as opposed to swapping out trigger assemblies.

Now I'm not sure what to do. While the 2nd unit works fine, I don't think it arrived in "like new condition" as described in the product description. And now I've gotten 2 or 3 days of work out of the nailer.

I applaud Amazon for their handling of the return, but don't know whether I should be disappointed in Bostitch or Amazon for shipping out such a heavily used unit as "factory reconditioned".

My factory reconditioned roofing gun came in a nice box from the company. It looks virtually new. It has a few scratches here and there but very little. It looks like it went through about four hours of actual roof abuse. I received it about two days after ordering. I am extremly happy with the quality and price.

I purchased this reconditioned tool on 12/15/10, I used it for 2 days beginning 1/24/11, and it failed on 1/27/11. It bypasses air, when trigger is pulled, no nail. I called CPO, they no longer honor the 30 day warranty. I called Bostitch Service and they said take it to CO (287 miles away) or send it at my own expense to Louisville, KY. They also said I could take it to a Authorized Dealer in ABQ, NM so they could ship it to KY. I called the number they gave me and it has been disconnected. I looked up the name on the internet, got a different number and have been calling for 2 days, but they do not answer the phone (no message option available). I will never buy from Stanley Bostitch again, and do not recommend this tool.

I just got this and already did a roof. I've used a lot of different guns. this one is easier to load since it only has one door loading for the nails. It seems lighter and well balanced which means a lot when your on a roof all day. The only thing that got me at first only because I didn't read the instructions and just loaded it and tried to go to town. Was the nail magazine that holds the nails adjusts to the size of nail your using. you have to do this manually. After I did that it shoots purfect. Oh and with this gun no more losing that last nail. Out of the three guns I've bought this is by far the best one. - Roofing Nailers - Nail Gun - Reconditioned - Reconditioned Tools'

Marty From Sf - flip tripod, camcorder

Visit Store Now !!

This is a good tripod for the Flip Ultra, but why not buy either of these two instead? They are a lot less money and is pretty much exactly the same thing!:

Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod

Sunpak 620-786 Mini-Spider Tripod

Really the only difference is the Vanguard model doesn't come with the different color feet and it doesn't say 'Flip'.

Or you could get the Gorilla Pod:

Joby GP1-01EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey)

which is a bit more versatile in that you can attach it to a pole or edge of a chair, etc.

A mini tripod really makes it easier to do videos since you can put it almost anywhere yet still get your Flip Ultra level. It also provides more stability to better prevent it from toppling over. Flip Video Tripod

You can't own a Flip Video (or any camera) without this nifty, lightweight tripod. It's a sturdy metal tripod that weighs about 12 ounces. The interchangeable rubber tips are a cool idea, but not really necessary unless you are a total "mix 'n match' freak. The legs are really flexible, which means you can mount this on just about any uneven surface. It would have been nice if they included a clip for vertical surfaces, but hey, for the price, it's a steal.

Honestly this thing is pretty silly. Yeah, its pretty much a necessary purchase if you plan on making vblogs with the Mino or any other sort of video where you need it to be still... I'm not upset with the product. However, you will laugh when you how small this thing is. I think calling this a tripod is a bit misleading... Mini tripod is more like it. Its barely any taller then the mino itself. Never the less.. it does its job well and the bendy legs help with certain surfaces. The price is awful though. 15 dollars for this? There is a 3rd party version that is exactly the same for 3 dollars.. i'd say grab that one instead if you get the chance. This is a over-priced, small accessory that at least does it's job well.

We picked up the Flip camcorder for my daughter Jessica Mellott, who is a pop singer. She wanted something simple to use to make videos for her Myspace and Youtube. The Flip is super easy, just press and record. To make it even easier we picked up the Flip Tripod accessory.

The tripod is small about 5 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide when closed. Opened it boasts flexible legs that bend to help you position the Flip so its easier to record yourself. The top screws easily into the tripod hole on the bottom of the Flip camcorder. Note the Flip tripod fits the bottom of the Flip Ultra camcorder only. There is no hole for the tripod in the regular Flip.

The tripod is packaged with black padded "feet" so it will not scratch your furniture. Included with the tripod are 4 sets of extra "feet" in hot pink, orange, white and yellow to match the different colors the Flip Ultra comes in.

With the help of the tripod, recording with the Flip is even easier and replaces an unsteady hand and makes adjusting the position of the camcorder more flexible.

A great little gadget for your Ultra Flip!

Lee Mellott

The tripod with flex legs is a nice design. However the threaded section that screws into the camera body is too long.

This does not allow the base of the camera to pull down flat against the top surface of the tripod the way it should. I have tried to resolve this matter directly with Flip but they have not been helpful.

Purchased rather on a whim along with my Flip camera and am grateful I did. The mechanics are very simple and user-friendly, and my girls like the interchangeable tips. I agree with an earlier reviewer that the packaging was a bit excessive. I purchased the Flip intending for it to get a lot of young use around our house, and it has. The children make delightful, spontaneous videos, but their camera work can be dizzying. When they use the tripod, their videos are infinitely more viewable by adults.

I think a necessary addition for young users.

Well I recieved my tripod from amazon in the mail yesterday and have spent some time with it,here are my thoughts.

pros:lightweight,well built and helpfull for very steady shots

cons:the rubber feet are a hassal to get on,can't tilt the camera

Well overall this is one of the most simple tripods i've ever used.The legs are made outta metal,which means it wont break easy.

So far Ihave used this for my youtube channel to increase the quality of my angles and its working very well for me.

overall if your a flip video camcorder owner and need the best buget tripod you can afford look no further

This is compatable with the "flip ultra" which is the niftiest camcorder I've ever used.

If you're getting the flip make sure it's the "ultra" so it will be compatable w/this tripod. And you'll certainly want the tripod if you ever want to include yourself in the videos.

Very inexensive but high quality. - Flip Tripod - Camcorder - Travel Tripod - Tripod'

I can't speak for this specific seller as I bought it elsewhere, but the flash drive is top of the line. With 16GB of space I have been able to transfer HD video footage where I work without any issues. Runs fast and is very portable. 16GB USB Flash Drive

I use this for transferring data between my desktop and laptop computer and this serves the purpose very well. It has enough capacity to transfer anything and the speed is good enough for me, since I am retired and not in a hurry to do anything.

I really needed a large capacity flash drive and this is a good one. The price was much less than our local office supply/computer stores and the drive arrived just 3 days after ordering. My aging home computer recognized it quickly, giving me no excuse to say I couldn't work from home on large projects. My only problem with the flash drive, and it's a small one, is that the notch for attaching a keyring or lanyard is at an odd angle and hard to access. Other than that, it's just what I needed.

not sure what else to say about it. i love the fact that it's capless, and instead has a retractable USB plug. the "switch" lights up when the drive is plugged in and active. i've seen similar capacity drives go for a lot more, so i have to say at this price it was a great deal.

if you own an xbox 360, it also works great as a memory unit there too.

If You want the best flash drives them Amazon is the place to buy them.You get what You pay for and if Your

If you were allowed to own only one book on the history of jewelry, this wouldn't be a bad option. Multiple high quality pictures on every page are accompanied by information about the pieces and how jewelry was made and used in the time and place. Pieces you may have seen before, but many that aren't in other books. More color pictures than black and white, and all are crisp and clear.

I purchased this book as a reference for a paper I am writing on Etruscan jewelry. Though the selection of Etruscan jewels is small compared to the book, I am elated to add this piece to my personal library as it is just beautiful and contains great information on the eras of jewelry. This is one book that I feel completely comfortable highly recommending.

This is a great book on jewellry through the ages and already I been inspired to try some designs, based on the ancient pieces presented here. One can only look in awe at the "acquisitions" made by the 19th century explorers and hope one day common sense will prevail so that some works can make their way back to where they should be. In the interim I think we should be happy that such wonderful items are in one place where they can be viewed at leisure.

I got this book for Christmas as a gift. I loved the pictures and information. If you are a re-enactor,SCA or costumer interested in history and pictures in detail to be period correct.It is well organized and with most books only covers ancient and Europe. This also mentions Orient, the Americas. It a great book in any re-enactors or costumers library

Wonderful coverage of jewelry throughout history and from all over the world; it's much more than I expected for such a low price! The pieces selected show such artistry and workmanship, and are very well-photographed (eye candy!). This is an awesome book that I will continue to enjoy for years to come, and highly recommend to anyone who loves looking at different styles and designs of beautiful jewelry. - Jewelry History - History Of Jewelry - History - Jewelry History And Design'
