Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of chocolate. Never again confuse your Olmecs with your Aztecs, your xocoatl with your cacao, or your conching with your blooming. More importantly, know the names of chocolate makers and chocolatiers to drop into conversation to underline your choc-credentials. Bask in the admiration of your fellow chocolate aficionados as you pronounce confidently on the provenance of the bean in your bar, why you prefer a criollo to a forastero or a trinitario, and why the world's finest chocolate is an authentic Aztec-influenced, `cold-worked' mix from Modica. Most of all, hold your own against the most sneering of chocolate experts by quoting the definitive words of Leonardo Sciascia. Who? Exactly. Written by experts and offering readers the opportunity to pass off appropriated knowledge as their own, the Bluffer's Guides provide hard fact masquerading as frivolous observation in one witty, easy read.

Interior as new. Signs of wear on the hardcover cloth. Lacks the dust jacket.; "The Garrett Collection of Japanese Lacquer, inrõ, and netsuke offers an unusual research opportunity. As a virtually undisturbed first-generation collection, one of the few in the United States, one gains valuable insights into the collecting habits of one family. Also, light is shed on the availability of certain objects in the late nineteenth century, contemporary opinions and attributions to both the authorship and date of manufacture, as well as sense of the general level of knowledge held by Westerners about the Orient. The extensive holdings of mask netsuke alone afford one not only the opportunity to compare the nuances of the masks to one another, but also to their models, the traditional Japanese theatre mask. All pertinent information from the Garrett archives has been entered as part of each catalogue entry. Moreover, to facilitate comparisons with other published artists or objects, modern references have been supplied as well. Since this book´s inception, it has been our aim to bring the Garrett Collection of Japanese art and its associate papers and accounts to light as an entity. The publication of a first-generation collection, intact with packing boxes, silk pouches, shipping crates and correspondence, we felt would make an important contribution to the study of Japanese Art, especially as collected by an American. We have always thought that modern collectors who possess objects similar to those in the Garrett Collection would particularly appreciate knowing the background of those pieces. And knowing when certain objects were purchased or first recorded as being at Evergreen House can be a particularly useful dating tool for collectors and scholars alike. We have sought to provide the readers with an objective view and description of the art. We have also sought to give the reader through numerous references, a key that will further explain our attributions and descriptions. We hope that our research will help to shed new light on some overlooked subjects. The Garretts were a special family, able to use their wealth, interests, and knowledge in a way which would benefit others. It is our hope that we have succeeded in furthering this philosophy." from the foreword.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 21.5 x 31 cm; 2,456 Kg; 564 pages with black and white illustrations.; Used book with signs of wear. The dust jacket has edge wear, and scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear. Good condition overall.; The famous Hindson collection of Netsuke, sold at Sotheby's in a series of seven sales between 1967 and 1969, is the mos important and all-embracing of its kind ever to have come up for auction. The sales led to a greatly increased international interest in this Japanese miniature art form. Neil K. Davey, who has been responsible for the documenting and cataloguing of Sotheby's Japanese sales for over twelve years, has founded his book on the information he acquired while working on the items in the M.T. Hindson collection. He has supplemented this information with a considerable amount of further material based on other collections, so that the coverage of Netsuke is more complete than that of any other book previously published on the subject. He surveys 1,300 representative pieces in two main sections; in the first section the signed Netsuke are dealt with, divided into different schools; in the second section the unsigned and unattributable Netsuke are categorized by subject matter. Both are fully illustrated with over 1,200 and some illustrations of the artist's actual signatures. Full details of artists, schools and subjects are given. The introduction describes the general background of Netsuke and comments on materials, techniques and terminology. The book includes a glossary of Japanese terms, and an index of all known Netsuke artists, with facts about the type of work for which they are recognized and their names in Japanese characters, where the artist is known.; Reviews of the First Edition: "Such a comprehensive work with every item illustrated, some with signature details as well, will make this a standard reference for many years to came". Museums Journal.; "Mr Davey's book is more than an ordinary art book: it is a rich source of information and will be used by Netsuke collectors as an encyclopedia." Times Literary Supplement.; "The serious collector will find this volume a welcome addition to his library." Antiques Monthly.
