[A] clear-sighted survey of an area of art which is in danger of slipping into neglected obscurity. . . . This is another beautifully produced volume from Princeton. The illustrations are both handsome and informative in their own right. . . . I think this is an important book in that it brings to light a subject which can be seen as a genuine folk art within an industrialized society and which was in danger of disappearing completely., [A] clear-sighted survey of an area of art which is in danger of slipping into neglected obscurity. . . .

Kit was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The kit and box is in great shape for a near 60 year old item. Great price for a great, nostalgic item from the days of my childhood. Recommend this seller. Thanks.
