The Lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany
If you admire Tiffany lighting, this is the book for you. Packed full with the most colourful illustrations, beautiful photographs, this is quite simply a stunning book. Louis Comforts love of flora, nature, comes through. His uniqiue designs, just makes you wish.....you owned one. After looking through each page, if you don't already own one, you will, if you do...you will want more. This book is a work of art in itself, worth the price.

If you have any interest in Tiffany - buy this book!
this is a sumptuous book at an amazing price, showing the history, designs and manufacturing process of these wonderful lamps, but best of all, page after page of full-page colour photographs of lamps that are to die for! My only criticism of this book is that it is too big to fit on my bookshelves! If you have any interest in the work of L.C. Tiffany, you must buy this book. I cant recommend it highly enough.
