of the comments:</font></strong></p>
<p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"...this
is one of the finest practical guides on collectible silver
that I have ever seen. Every page represents hard-won knowledge
in a way that can be easily assimilated by other collectors.
..Goddard's <em>Field Guide</em> will become the Spratling
collectors' 'Bible' for decades to come." - Will Chandler,
<em>Silver Magazine </em>November-December 2003</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"My
hat goes off to you! On behalf of myself and Spratling lovers
everywhere I want to thank you for researching and producing
the definitive guide to William Spratling's hallmarks. You
tackled a confusing and complex area and came up with a clear
and interesting field guide that will prove valuable for years
to come. I really enjoyed reading it page by page." -
Sandy Cederwall<br>
</font> </p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Unbelievable
book! Worth every penny AND MORE!!!!" - Fredrica Monosson</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"<font size="2">Only
a passionate collector, an excellent writer and a meticulous
researcher could fashion a book like <em>A Field Guide to
Spratling Silver.</em> Phyllis Goddard not only covers the
topic of Spratling Silver brilliantly, but the book also is
the very model of how a treatise on collecting should be written
and produced" - Ed Schwartz</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Simply
wonderful! The book looks absolutely great...plus, the content
is so intensely packaged with the information everybody needs,
and presented in a truly easy-to-use format, too." -

<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial">This new book has
been designed for both the new and the experienced collector.
There are sections on each of Spratling's three design periods.
For each design period there are dozens of photos depicting
the unique design elements, figural themes, materials used,
and construction features that are typical for that specific
period of time. Spratling's hallmarks - including authenticated
variations are depicted in both the text and easy to follow
charts. <strong>Learn to distinguish between authentic vs.
copy. </strong>An additonal section discusses care of Spratling
silver. Three indices enable one to find any item by design
features (hands, serpents, applied discs, etc.), materials
(tortoise shell, amethyst, obsidian, azur-malachite, etc.)
or by kind of item (necklace, bracelet, bowl, ashtray, etc.).
The book has been organized to enable users to locate complete
information quickly and easily. There are more than 500 photos
in this full color, easy to carry soft cover book. The information
contained in the book is far more extensive than what appears
on this website and is in a format specifically designed for
this book. The two resources are designed to complement each
other rather than to serve as a substitute.<b> </b><strong>No

This excellent biography of William Spratling is filled with
previously unpublished information and insights on a most
extraordinary man! Through Mark's writing, one has a sense
of the spirit of the man ... his impatience, his passions, his
broad interests, and his caring about the essence of Mexico's
people and their timeless art. William Faulkner, Diego Rivera,
Miguel Covarrubias, Mary Anita Loos, and others appear throughout
this chronicle of Spratling's life. The story of Spratling's
Mexican adventures can only enhance one's appreciation for
his timeless designs. The full and active life he experienced
as he created his silver designs, managed his company, bought
and sold pre-Columbian art, authored books, and more is well
portrayed in this book, as is his lonely existence in his
later years. This well researched and documented book includes
photographs and drawings. <b> Autographed by Joan Mark</b>.

<a name="prod4"> </a> <p><font face="Arial" size="2">A scholarly
account of William Spratling is based primarily on Spratling's
personal correspondence with his family. Soon after
Spratling's mother died in 1910, Spratling's father took his
three children back to the Alabama family plantation known
as Roamer's Roost. For less than a year the children
remained in the care of their grandfather (Spratling's father
went on to Florida alone) and by 1913, the children were separated
and sent to live with various relatives. Thus was born
an active correspondence that served to strengthen Spratling's
sense of family. Most of Spratling's correspondence
with his family occurred before 1929 and prior to his move
to Mexico, and so the strength of the new insights and perspective
this book provides are most significant concerning the formative
period of Spratling's life. This personal chronicle
has never been made public and now sheds light on the experiences
and feelings that shaped the life of William Spratling.
Littleton provides extensive and rich context for these events
so the reader has a strong sense of the times. Throughout
the book Littleton provides material that contradicts some
of Spratling's own writings in his autobiography, <i>File
on Spratling </i>published posthumously in 1967. <b>Autographed

jewelry, household objects and representative items from his
entire line. The back of the catalogue includes Spratling's
wholesale price list (in pesos and in U.S. currency) for each
item. This is the same supplement Spratling used until
his death in 1967. He merely changed the price list

are FUN! as well as a wonderful reference aid. Available in the

EDITION OF THIS CLASSIC BOOK! Twenty three <i>pages

deleted), an <i> updated</i> hallmark explanation and hallmark
page, a <i> new</i> Preface and the <i> new</i> Introduction

is continued in this volume with specific dimensions, materials,

of the new items (a full page is devoted to each) is masterful!
The dust jacket photograph is one of a pair of book-ends by
Spratling. Cederwall remarked to me "There were
so many images to choose from that would have made great cover
shots. I selected the "Hand" because it was
...totally universal. Spratling was more than... a designer
of Mexican jewelry and silver. I believe he should rank
with the best of the international designers."
This expanded Centennial Edition is an important reference
for the Spratling collector as well as for those who study
and appreciate exceptional design. 176 pages.
