From Library Journal:
Designed to be the comprehensive reference tool in the field, this ambitious work includes stylistic forms, construction and materials, and designers and manufacturers, throughout the world, from ancient to post-modern times. To do this in more than 2000 entries in only 331 pages precludes any in-depth treatment, but the volume is a very useful dictionary for ready reference. Each entry provides a definition or identification, dates and pertinent material, and appropriate cross-references. The care with which the work was prepared is evident in small details, e.g., Chinese entry titles are given in Pinyin transcription and then in Wade-Giles when they differ. The marginal line drawings are clear and simple. An attractive, easily handled reference book of this quality, at this price, is a rarity. Recommended for all subject collections.
