AUTHORBIO: A historian first and a collector second, Laura Mueller assembled a collection that would represent the rise and fall of compacts for her volume, Collector's Encyclopedia of Compacts, Carryalls, & Face Powder Boxes, Books I . Her knowledge of compacts is unparalleled.

REVIEW: This book showcases a wide variety of compacts, some of the best examples of each quirk and turn of design that occurred in their production. Countless hours of research went into this book, and compacts are shown in large, detailed color photographs with information, sizes, and current collector values. (T-CA)
