It's My First!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
The Jill Gallina book is my first!! It is very well organized and offers the novice collector a basic description of the big names in Christmas pins, their unique aspects, even suggestion of price ranges. My first pin was in the book! (I know Jill Gallina from professional workshops for music educators...even got her books and tapes...which were used endlessly! What a shock to see that she's into Christmas pins! I am now retired, and am fascinated with the creativity behind these flashing baubles. Tah-tah-ti-ti tah to you, Jill!) Great reference! Hope to see more coming from you!

Ms. Gallina has done impressive research. Her pictures are well done, in color, and carefully organized by designer and theme. Her captions are descriptive and the values are clear.
Christmas Pins Past & Present Second Edition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This somewhat small book was extremely helpful to me in identifying the values of some recently purchased Weiss candle Christmas Tree Pins. It has also shown me what pins do not carry such a high value. I would love to see more books like this one for holiday jewelry. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone interested in Vintage and New Christmas Jewelry.
Excellent Book for the Novice or Advanced Collector

Very enjoyable book with great history of the designers of today and yesteryear that made Christmas Pins. Good color pictures with a price guide that reflects today's prices. If you are a new pin collector this is a must have at a reasonable price. If you are a seasoned collector you will enjoy reading about the short histories of your favorite designers.
A must have for collectors and dealers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book by Jill is one of my favorite books, and not just because my own jewelry is included. Jill's wonderful photography showcases a wonderous variety of this collecting category. I doubt there are very many collectors who don't have a least one Christmas tree pin in their collection. And truly, it is very likely that every single woman who loves jewelry has at least one tree pin for holiday wear. This beautiful book is a perfect addition to any vintage costume jewelry reference library, for collectors and dealers alike. And it may even convert non-collectors! Thanks Jill!
