Those who know Reg Eaton and his passion for braces, particularly the Ultimatum Brace, know very well that this book was a labor of love; those who do not need only to examine the contents of this this thoroughly researched and lavishly illustrated volume. Included are histories of all the major manufacturers, including Marples, Pilkington, Marsden and scores of others; color and black & white photographs of important examples; engravings from period catalogs and patent drawings; and a text which essentially "gives away the secrets" of those who have studied and collected these fascinating and beautiful tools.
