Hunt, of This Old Purse on Ruby Lane.com "If you own a beaded purse collection or even have just one antique beaded bag that is less than perfect, you MUST have this book. Well know authority on antique beaded purses, Evelyn Haertig has authored the most information-packed book on restoration techniques I have ever seen. While the book is very detailed, it is still easy to read and a feast for the eyes. After reading this book I was able to do my own repairs. Restoration techniques are discussed in depth all the way from the necessary tools to the frames and lining. Speaking of frames, this book has the most glorious frames pictured. Even if it is not your desire to repair your own purses, this book will help you to understand how your purses were constructed by women so long ago and how much time and effort were put into this lost art. It will also help you to understand what your restoration does and what a reasonable price for restoration is. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a purse collection or a passion for antique purses." =========================================== C. Perrenoud and V.
