Nice comprehensive review
Author has done a nice job of researching and referencing a complex subject. Many new nuggets of information and the material is organized well. The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks

More persuasion than information
Very interesting nuggets of information about the sellers, producers and consumers of "Indian-made" objects are overwhelmed by the author's emphasis of her strongly held viewpoint. After a while it became so tiresome that I merely skimmed the last 1/3 of it.
