5 stars (MY NUMBER ONE BOOK !!) - It is my so called bible.I bought it 15 years ago at $50.00 from a mall bookstore and was so happy how cheap i bought it for as its return its value 50 times over since...if you had to own just one book this is it!...grant you it should be reprinted and up dated. alot of what we do does not change much but in some fields it does.color would be great. mine has many color plates (1985 ed).it seams alot for a book but if it was printed today would cost alot more(id buy a new one at what ever cost), and imho compared to many that ive spent more on do not compare..buy it,and hug it as i often do.its a jewel!lol...i wonder if "oppi" is still liveing?. 3 stars (The Oppi book (jewelers' bible)) - This book is a must for any serious jeweler but unfortunatly the copy i recieved was 99% black and white the original was full of colour and is a much better book for the artistic types However the book i recieved still has all the pictures in B&W and all the technical info which is what i really wanted from the book, if you are considering buying this book i would suggest trying to find the colour version ISBN 0-7091-9616-4 5 stars (Timeless Treasure) - I purchased my first copy of this book as an apprentice 25 years ago. Oppi and Saara did a tremendous service to generations of artists and craftspeople by meticulously compiling all the information concisely in this wonderful volume. Highest recommendation at any price. ... N a G Pr :: Jewelry :: Hobbies&Crafts :: Crafts & Hobbies :: Oppi Untracht :: :: Jewelry Concepts and Technology
