5.0 out of 5 stars A book of quality., 2 Dec 2004
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Just occasionally, I pick up a book I realise I have a quality product in my hands. It is nothing to do with size or format - just a certain finesse that speaks more than words. Jon Baddeley's "Nautical Antiques & Collectables" is such a product. I was not surprised, therefore, to discover he works for Sotheby's - a company of great quality in itself.

Generally speaking, scuba divers do not recover very many artefacts from shipwrecks and, even when they do, it might be some insignificant souvenir from the dive that is only of value to the diver - as a memento. Others quickly deteriorate on exposure to the atmosphere but even more were destroyed by immersion in salt water. Nevertheless, we do all retain a passion for ships and the sea and anything that goes with them and many of us do become avis collectors of anything (and sometimes everything) to do with the ships.

This book is an excellent choice for all those with an interest in Nautical artefacts. It is well laid out with headings which include Models, Instruments, Fixtures & Fittings, Arts & Crafts, Portraits, Ocean Liner Ephemera, Caring for one's collection and finally where to go in the world to see what's on display.

Quite frankly, there is little more one could ask of a book on this subject.

NM.
