‎The Letts Guide to Collecting Twentieth Century Toys.‎

‎London: Letts, 1991. 96 S. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Minimale Lagerspuren. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The appeal of toys for the collector is obvious: they are beautiful objects in their own right, and the best examples are intricate pieces of fine craftsmanship which are delightful to hold and handle. In addition they are wonderful historical records, reflecting changes in fashion and taste, documenting events and concerns of their time and constantly reminding us of the golden ages of the past. Finally, and highly significantly, today rare toys in good condition can reach unprecedented prices at auction, providing a welcome bonus for the established collector, and a stimulating challenge for the novice who wishes to create a collection on a realistic budget. THE LETTS GUIDE TO COLLECTING 20TH-CENTURY TOYS provides a comprehensive overview of all the major collectable areas in this increasingly popular field. A general introduction puts the phenomenon of toy collecting into context, and describes how the development of industrial techniques and materials has affected the production of toys. Separate chapters on dolls and teddy bears, dolls' houses, die-cast toys, tinplate toys, toy trains, soldiers and figures cover in depth the most important areas of modern toy collecting, and there are special features on aspects such as TV toys and robots. THE LETTS GUIDE TO COLLECTING 20TH-CENTURY TOYS incorporates research and material that has come to light in the last decade, bringing the subject fully up to date, and including prices realized in recent sales so that collectors of all degrees of experience will be able to judge for themselves what they should be paying. This book is written by some of the world's leading authorities on toys; authors and dealers in the major auction rooms of Bonhams and Phillip's in London, providing expert professional guidance to the new and the more experienced collector. It shows how to assemble an attractive collection while avoiding the many pitfalls that can trap the unwary trader. It furnishes the reader with a sound historical perspective, information on materials, techniques and design, and professional advice on building a collection and developing an awareness of what is genuine value. It is the indispensable work for all serious collectors. (Klappentext). ISBN 9781852381295‎

‎Grushkin, Paul‎

‎Art of Classic Rock. Rock Memorabilia, Tour Posters and Merchandise from the 70s, 80s and 90s. By Paul Grushkin based on the Rob Roth Collection. Foreword by Alice Cooper.‎

‎London: Carlton, 2009. 256 S. Fadengehefteter Originalpappband mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Inhalt: The Rolling Stones -- Pink Floyd -- The Who -- Led Zeppelin -- David Bowie -- Alice Cooper -- Elton John -- Queen. - For thirty-five years Rob Roth has collected rare examples of rock tour posters, advertising posters, rock memorabilia, original artwork and items of merchandise. His spectacular collection is so vast that it has never all been put on public display but when visitors to his spacious New York apartment - visitors like Elton John and Alice Cooper - caught a glimpse of some of the material Rob has collected over the years, they were amazed and urged him to let rock fans see the dazzling array of artefacts. For many, the images lovingly catalogued in the pages of this book will evoke nostalgic memories of the blazing lights, drifting smoke and all-pervading audio power of the rock concerts of their youth. It is also, however, a lavishly produced presentation of some of the most vivid and exciting artwork from the rock world featuring The Rolling Stones, Queen, Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Alice Cooper and David Bowie. Each section of the book covers a particular act spotlighting different tours and different albums to show how design and graphic styles changed. An introduction to the section puts the images in context, outlining how the bands and acts had developed in terms of their visual presentation and discussing the art and artists. Each item that is portrayed carries a caption describing exactly what it is, the whole collection standing to highlight the sometimes outrageous excess, undoubted creativity and lavish expense involved in promoting rock music during the 70s, 80s and 90s. Nowadays, first with CDs and more recently with downloaded music, there are far fewer opportunities to produce the kind of album cover art and the related poster advertising and merchandising so beautifully presented in The Art of Classic Rock, making this collection a record of a bygone era. The collection has been meticulously photographed specially for this book by leading photographer Richard Marot, who spent hundreds of hours working with a team of technicians to ensure that the images appearing in The Art of Classic Rock are a sumptuous and accurate representation of the truly stunning Rob Roth Collection.

‎The Perfume Atomizer. An Object with Atmosphere.‎

‎West chester, Pennsylvania: Schiffer Publishing, 1991. 168 S. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst sehr gutes Exemplar. - Inhalt: La Belle Epoque -- Leopold and Marcel Franck -- Baccarat -- Galle and L'Ecole de Nancy -- Daum -- De Vilbiss -- T.J. Holmes -- Mounts -- The Art Deco Era -- René Lalique -- Charles Schneider and Le Verre Frangais -- Georges Chevalier at Baccarat -- Viard -- Paul Poiret and the Martines -- Brosse -- Robj -- Bohemia: The Land of Glass -- The End of an Era -- "Design or Decline" -- Marcel Goupy and La Maison Geo. Rouard -- Saint-Louis' Designers -- The Garniture de Toilette. - The elegance of feminity can not be reflected more than in a fragile and beautifully designed perfume bottle, unless the spray of the perfume itself is sensed - and that is the special job of the perfume atomizer. It delivers the elusive scents for all to experience. This lavishly color-illustrated book showcases a fantastic collection of perfume atomizers against a factual historical text. It pays tribute to the artistic talents of the bottle designers, especially in France and Bohemia, where art and life co-mingled in the early, elegant decades of the twentieth century. Color posters of fantastic perfume advertisements with atomizers are reproduced, and they bring a true atmosphere of the idealized taste of the day - tempting and ephemeral. The 232 color photographs of atomizers show clearly that in them the designers achieved elegance in tangible form. Over 160 period catalogue illustrations not only help to document the associated atomizers, but they also display a chronology of products from the Belle Epoque and Art Deco eras which are so highly collected today.
