Summary: superb, magnificent
Comment: this book could easily inspire a life of crime--how else to afford the gorgeous contemporary jewelry? or acquire the museum quality antique and archeological collections?
as a knitter, embroiderer and beader, i am always looking for inspiration for my pieces. i may stoop to outright plagarism when it comes to the works in this incredible book. though i will say that i can only dream of having the level of skill the pieces display. the craftmanship, the artistry, are humbling when one considers the tools the artists had--and the reservation conditions under which too much of the art was created.
the text is wonderfully informative, if you can force yourself to read it, instead of allowing yourself to be mesmerized by the photos.
follow the advice of the professional review--buy this book immediately.

Summary: An excellent book!
Comment: This is by far the very best book I have ever seen on the subject! It will no doubt take days to just look at the beautiful pictures. The author, Lois Sherr Dubin, has outdone her previous book, "The History Of Beads", which I also highly recommend. This book follows thousands of years of Native adornment, dividing the continent into sections such as the Arctic, the Plains, the Southwest, and more, and goes into the jewelry, symbolism, and purpose of these exquisite artworks in great detail. I had never seen most of the photographs in this book before, and the text is most informative as well. I simply cannot say enough good things about this book, and I'd give it ten stars if I could! The author has obviously put much thought, time, and careful research into this wonderful book!

Summary: A Visual Dictionary of Native American Regalia and Artifacts
Comment: I'm wearing out the copy of North American Indian Jewelry and Adornment by Lois Sherr Dubinat at the local book store as I save towards its purchase. It is the most conclusive, informative, visually stimulating referance resource on Native American Jewelry, Regalia, Artifacts and more, separated by regions and tribes. The photos and graphics are extremely detailed and the text is very well researched. Can hardly wait till its mine to study for hours at a time.
