Buttons: History, Design & Collecting
Buttons examines the authors' collections to show how small decorative objects reflect changing tastes and techniques. The book traces the history of button design and considers their aesthetic and cultural value as miniature works of art.
Topics covered include the evolution of styles, common materials and manufacturing approaches, and practical ways to evaluate buttons from a collector’s or design-historical perspective. Clear descriptions make it useful to collectors, costume historians and design enthusiasts.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
