| McBride, who has collected bookends for the past eight years, provides a nice overview of his subject, beginning with chapters on casting methods, histories and catalogs of manufacturers, and an identification guide. Bookends created in the sand, permanent mold, solid and slush, electroformed and galvano castings are examined. A glossary and a ten-source bibliography are featured. Values are given with captions, which accompany some 500 examples.
