Can anyone recommend the best book to have covering Southern Silver and the various makers? I know you can buy books that focus on various states, but is there one book considered the go-to guide for southern makers? IP: Logged |

I do not know any one book that covers the southern states. Catherine Hollan, in her book Virginia Silversmiths, does cover the lives of silversmiths that started in Virginia and later moved to another southern state. If you are lucky the smith you are looking for will have started in Virginia. I say that because she has the best research that I know of so you will learn quite a bit about the smith you are looking for. IP: Logged |

He's correct, Virginia Silversmiths is a great reference, but you'll need books for each state unfortunately. I'm working on finding new books all the time. IP: Logged |

The Book list that is on the forum is a good resource to see what books are available. If you see a particular book ask about it and I think our members can say if they still recommend it. [This message has been edited by ahwt (edited 07-23-2018).] IP: Logged |

Thanks, these are the city and state books I use. There are many other books that I use as well. I have been collecting these books for over 40 years. There is much more information in these books than you can find on the internet. Over the years these books have more than paid for themselves. IP: Logged |
