"From the introduction - This encyclopedia is an attempt to collect all known, accurate information on the Tsar Imperial, Imperial, Kelch, and certain other major eggs made by the House of Faberge. While it is meant to be a definitive presentation for Faberge scholars, this work is also for the entertainment and enjoyment of those with a less intense interest in the Faberge eggs, those who perhaps just enjoy them for the beautiful things they are and were meant to be."--BOOK JACKET.
