Good book
I liked this book but it is a very big overview and not too much detail. But it is a good book for referrence book for Southwest and Cowboy buckles

lots of pretty pictures but no silversmithing information
This book is an advertising brochure for the various manufactures featured in the book, was expecting more information on fabrication and metal smithing

Beautiful and Comprehensive
If you like buckles, own just one or call yourself a serious collector, this book is a must have. A beautiful, comprehensive collection of buckles and tip sets from traditional to way out and everything in between. The photography is gorgeous as is the graphic design and layout. There are interesting, informative and often amusing quotes and anecdotes from the makers and collectors that give this book a personal touch and unique point-of-view. This is an exceptional book, very high quality at a very affordable price. A great tribute to a classic artistry. Buy it!

Don't bother with this book
Book of modern, and generally ugly buckles that look rather the same. Returned for a refund.
