A great over view of the entire Faberge Museum Experience
Love this book. I bought it to prepare for a visit to the museum and it prepared me well! It is also for sale at the Faberge Museum Gift Shop! The strength of the text is that it is more than the eggs! The museum has lots of collections, art work, enamels, silver etc. I was so excited to see these treasures at the museum. Makes a great souvenir of my trip!

Best Book of Faberge in this collection
Excellent book, With beautiful pictures and the whole information and historical background. This a book for serious collectors and any person with interest in this topic. It ONLY contains the presentation of the Faberge Eggs of this Museum and Collection. You'll need to buy other book to complement this one. This is the best work by far of any other in this matter, and the author Geza von Habsburg its probably the expert in this field. Enjoy!!

Livro excelente
Este livro apresenta capa, costura, papel, fotografias e texto de altíssima qualidade. O conteúdo contempla o acervo do Museu Fabergé, de São Petersburgo, na Rússia. Trata-se, todavia, de um livro grande e pesado. O preço é caro, mas justificado.
