In paintings as pretty as the porcelain they depict; this gift book celebrates one of the finest teacup collections in the world: the 300-piece archive of the Clark Art Institute; which dates back to the eighteenth century and represents coveted designs of the day from Europe and China. Artist Molly Hatch; with exclusive access to this largely unviewed collection; pored over the details of each cup to create this visual treat. Including page after page of paintings of the cups; and led off by introductory essays; this is both an intriguing reflection on the art of collecting and an utterly charming gift for tea drinkers and teacup collectors.

MooreThe postcard history of Hampton and Hampton Beach; New Hampshire; is a wonderful book of a very special place. It truly is a visual history of Hampton and Hampton Beach. My family rented a cottage there on Great Boars Head for several summers during the 1950s. I was thrilled to find this book which tells the history of Hampton through an incredible collection of postcards each with text.Anyone who has ever visited Hampton and Hampton Beach would thoroughly enjoy this book. I bought three copies; one for myself and one for each of my sisters and for all of us it is a nostalgic walk down memory lane. And we now know something of its history!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
