This book is a must for any one interested in Kaleidoscopes. Written By Cozy Baker who is considered the foremost authority on Kaleidoscopes as she has collected kaleidoscopes herself since the late 1970s. Cozy had one of the largest collections of kaleidoscopes including contemporary, antique and toy kaleidoscopes. She founded the Brewster Society; a group of kaleidoscope collectors, artists and gallery owners. There are over 144 pages, 300 Photographs. Profiles of many of the top current Kaleidoscope artists. This book is limited to kaleidoscope artists currently making kaleidoscopes at the time of this Publishing (2002). This is the latest of 6 books Cozy has written about kaleidoscopes. This book mostly focuses on current artists and profiles of these artists. There is a limited amount on the history in this particular book but there is a great resource for current kaleidoscope Gallery locations in the United States, England and Japan. There is a last chapter on kaleidoscopes and their use in holistic healing and stress reduction. I highly recomend this book on kaleidoscopes.

The book itself is great, kaleidoscopes fascinate me so it immediately grabs my attention. I knocked one star off because it felt more like a "good" condition than "very good". Other than that small criticism I'm very happy.
Verified purchase: Yes
First, the book was a tremendous bargain, price and quality-wise. Second, it is a wonderfully visual smorgasbord of kaleidoscopic magic. Even the uninitiated will love perusing the pages filled with facts about kaleidoscopes augmented by spectacular pictures. A must for kaleidoscope aficionados and a great introduction for anyone unaware of the magical qualities of kaleidoscopes. I will treasure this book forever.
I COLLECT KALEIDOSCOPES AND CONSIDER COZY BAKER A GREAT AUTHORITY ON SCOPES. I ALREADY HAVE THIS BOOK AND BOUGHT THE ONE ON EBAY FRO A FRIEND. I BOUGHT THIS ONE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW GREAT THE BOOK IS. THE PRICE WAS VERY LOW AND THE CONDITION WAS 100%. I HAVE ANOTHER NEWER VERSION SCOPE BOOK BY BAKER. PHOTOS IN BOTH ARE VERY HIGH QUALITY. THEY ARE THE BEST SCOPE BOOKS AVAILABLE.
