BOOKS

 

There are several excellent books on powder compacts and accessories which provide historical information and value guides.  They are beautifully presented with clear photographs and descriptions and provide a wonderful resource for collectors.

 


 

ESTEE LAUDER BOOKS

 

I have two new books related to Estee Lauder Solid perfumes and Powder Comapacts.  For the last 10 years I have been researching and learning about Estée Lauder collectible compacts. During these years I have met many dedicated collectors. These are collectors that are spread out all over the world. Collectors are always looking for information about these beautiful compacts but there are a very limited number of resources for this information. I decided to create an educational book that will bring the collectors needed information on these Estée Lauder items. Finally collectors will have a reference to see what is available.
You can order now on Etsy, eBay or directly from me at Sizzlesells@aol.com

Member Hannah O'Byrne was searching on-line for a make of carryall called "Beauty-Full" and found this book:

"The Compacts and Cosmetics: Beauty from Victorian Times to the Present Day" by Madeleine Marsh.

I couldn't see it listed on the "Books" page on the website and thought other members may find it of interest especially as, at the moment - 28th July 2016 - it is only 99p to download to Kindle from Amazon! Here's a link:
