Your attention to detail is remarkable. This is not one of those poorly photographed and poorly researched books that are on the market. It is over-the-top classy, hugely informative, and I appreciate all your hard work!

I am blown away. I have been in the antiques and collectibles business for many years and have 100’s of pounds of reference books, incl. jewelry books, but yours is in a class by itself, so superior I can’t even find the right words for it. The content, the photography, the quality of binding and paper are just amazing. Thank you soooo much, It is now my most treasured book.

I received my books today and they are truly amazing. This is a book which is destined to be a classic work. It firmly establishes Melinda as a leading expert not only on Napier jewelry, but on the American jewelry industry and the history of fashion, as well.

I have to chime in on this superior book. I have been through the entire book page by page, mainly looking at the pictures and seeing what is in this massive book, but also reading some here and there! Now, I am starting over and plan to read more (but not skip the pictures – they are absolutely top quality!) I love the way the book is broken out into decades and talks about the fashion and jewelry trends. Also, the section on findings and marks – It is so detailed and so useful!

Now I can finally join in the chorus singing praises about the amazing Napier book from Melinda…You have to see this book in person to really comprehend the wealth of information that will take us quite some time to really digest…The pictures are just perfect and I especially love how it shows the old time movie stars wearing a piece of Napier and that very piece is shown in person… and the contents pages… most books have a page maybe two listing chapters on the contents page…this one has 15 pages counting both sides of the pages… oh my gosh!! And the Fashion Trends and Jewelry Trends on the different decades is so educational and helps us get the real feel of the era. I actually could go on for probably 10 more posts about how I feel about this wonderful publication. We all thank you so very much for all of the precious time you took out of your life to bring us this treasure.

Until I actually held it in my hands, I didn’t realize quite what a massive volume it is. And unlike the college textbooks that my students must purchase in my class, this is really a value worth the money.

You will not believe the wealth of material that is in this book. Pictures, patents, advertisements, anything a lover of jewelry could want. Even if you don’t collect Napier (as I confess i don’t), it doesn’t matter. You will not believe how much is pertinent to any American CJ that we collect. THIS is a scholarly tome that belongs on every bookshelf for every student or lover of jewelry. This is what I have always wanted to read. The story and the history of American costume jewelry. You’ve done it

Wow, what a Masterpiece.
I rec’d your beautiful, heavy, wonderfully printed and designed book yesterday and just had time to open it. I am speechless. No wonder it took you a few years to do. It’s an encyclopedia! I skimmed through it and just loved the jewellery, right from 100 years ago to now. Congratulations on an exceedingly well done Napier Bible.

My Napier Book arrived yesterday and I can only say it is a work of art in and of itself.

The photos are just outstanding.  I believe the depth of information will broaden my education in vintage jewelry not only with respect to Napier, but vintage jewelry in general for over the past 100 years...jewelry trends, manufacturing, etc.  And it's so wonderful to see collection and designer names and I love the way it's arranged by decade.  I will spend a lot of time with this book that's for sure.
