The ebook version of The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks provides iPad and Apple computer users with mobile access to the world’s most comprehensive guide to hallmarks on Mexican silver. The ebook format not only gives a collector or dealer access to over 1,500 photographs of marks on Mexican silver and biographical information on designers, silversmith and retailers, but this “app” is searchable by name, initials or key word. It identifies the famous “Eagle Number” stamps from 1 to 219, and includes a section on the Letter-Number Registration-System that replaced eagle marks in 1980.
Internal hyperlinks allow the user to navigate between important events or marks, and to access useful external websites. There is even a brief travel video introducing you to Taxco, Mexico’s “silver capitol.”
Thousands of the popular print version of The Little Book of Marks on Mexican Silver and Trade and Hallmarks have been sold world-wide. Here is what a few users have said:
“The most authoritative guide to marks on Mexican silver.”
"The 'Little Book' is simply the most valuable reference guide to Mexican silver hallmarks you can get (ps: it's actually not so little).”
"Great book if you're looking to find the actual silversmith (or whatever) who made your priceless object. There's so much information you're verging on being overwhelmed.”
The new ebook format enables the user to take this comprehensive reference on “the hunt.” Best of all, it is updated free-of-charge when new information becomes available.
Enjoy!
