\u201cThis is a dictionary of masking that not only looks at the persona of the mask, but will aid in defining its use, ethnicity and geographical origin.\u201d<\/div>\n
– Jim Pieper, author of Guatemalan Masking<\/em> and Guatemalan Folk Saints<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cUnlike most of the reference books in my library, this one is more about the artistic qualities of folk art, and less prejudiced against invented or decorative objects.\u201d<\/div>\n
– Bryan Stevens, author of Mexican Masks and Puppets<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAfter reading this book you will have taken your first course in mask collecting. You will be able to quickly pin-point cultural origin and understand degree of authenticity which are the cornerstone of researching your treasures.\u201d<\/div>\n
– Nathan DesJardins, mask dealers<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cA superb introduction to mask archetypes, and a useful general reference for both new<\/div>\n
and experienced mask collectors. This book includes both the classic and the unique.\u201d<\/div>\n
– Aaron Fellmeth, collector<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t think of another book that covers such a wide range of cultures from around the world… from old to new, and from traditional to inspired. I wish that I had a book like this when I first started collecting because I was interested in almost every category of masks.\u00a0 I take my hat off to Bob for this valuable resource.\u201d<\/div>\n
