Mueller's Overview of American Compacts & Vanity Cases

Mueller's Overview of American Compacts & Vanity Cases
- Used Book in Good Condition
Laura M. Mueller, author of two volumes of the Collector's Encyclopedia of Compacts, Carryalls & Face Powder Boxes, is back with a new title. Though written on the same subject as her previous books, this new book is unique. It is largely an overview of American compacts, with just a few European examples for interest, accented with museum pieces and backed by years of research. Readers will learn about Richard Gaige and his works, Rex, and collections of VoluptÃ©, as well as pieces that are real 'knockouts,' items that reflect what most people think of when they think of American compacts. The idea for this volume began with a VoluptÃ© compact from the Richard Gaige family, and the book presents the definitive biography of Gaige, the major designer for VoluptÃ©. Descriptions, sizes, and pertinent facts about every compact showcased are presented, and there are more than 200 dazzling full-color photographs. 2008 values.
