This is a fantastic and profound book, HOWEVER . . .
DON'T BUY THIS EDITION! The print is miniscule and very difficult to read! Try the Banner of Truth Edition.

Most of the pieces in this collection (now apparantly dispersed) were given or sold to the Nadir Shah in the 15th century. It includes the ABSOLUTE FINEST examples of Columbian emeralds (like great blobs of green apple jelly) from both the Muzo and Chivor mining regions AND the ABSOLUTE FINEST blood-red Burmese rubies that you will never get to see in your lifetime.
Many pieces are manufactured jewellery but many, many stones are unset.
This collection used to be on display in the Bank Melli in Teheran but after the '79 revolution has disappeared.
If you have a love of precious stones or an interest in the Spanish pillaging of South America, this book is a must have. If you can find one.

Ms. Shepard is interviewing her peers, in essence and this is not exactly a hard-hitting exposé, which is fine, but it's perhaps not entirely factual in places.
Nonetheless, it's difficult not to empathize with these women and their aspirations and well as what they have had to endure in their struggles to reach them, and ultimately the book is to be commended for shining some light in that area.
Jewel's questions draw out the people behind the images on the screen and gives their insights into the B-Movie business. I found Jewel's interviews funny and interesting. Most of the women knew what they were doing and saw B-Movies as an opening to bigger and better things.

I loved Morgan and David in Pirate. At least Morgan did what she had to do to survive. Jo is a self-centered little brat who can't see anything beyond her own blind rage. She was in London for how many years? Four!! And she managed to find one whole group of orphans. Big whoop. Now she's ready and willing to take steps that will get her whole family hung. Personally, I think she's stupid, bordering on insane. I think I will enjoy "Angel" much more.
I'm having a hard time finishing this book. It is my most fervent hope that Nathan drop kicks her butt straight into the ocean. That would be the only thing that would make this book worth reading to me.
Now, I will say that this author writes very well and I do enjoy her work, but she just didn't choose the right heroine this time.
Joanna only attends the ball to please her elder sister. Attired in fabulous dress and feathered mask, her emerald eyes suite the name rumor gives her, "The Emerald of London." Using the rumor to her own advantage, Joanna gains an introduction to Nathan Alcott, a man who represents all that she despises most. But she can't resist the thrill of attraction, the electric connection they share.
Preferring her own company to the partygoers as they step into the dining room, Joanna escapes to her brother-in-law's study. There she overhears just enough information that, if she takes to the seas, will solve her pressing issue. Too often Joanna feels she's let down those who needed her, especially her little brother and Sammy who both died, and she won't let down the rest of the children. Nathan is borrowing her brother-in-law's ship and headed to France with $50,000 in gold. Plenty to pirate and use to provide much needed food and shelter for the orphans of London's streets.
The attack on her adversary was fiercer than Joanna planned, causing considerable damage to the ship. When she boards and her crew captures the gold, however, Nathan doesn't give up the money without a fight. In a desperate sword fight, Nathan beats Joanna, but she can't loose the gold. Without thinking, she thrusts her dagger into his side. Devastated by her own actions, Joanna brings both gold and Nathan back to her ship. When she learns the purpose of Nathan's desperate flight to France, she offers her help. Both Joanna and Nathan fight the electricity they share, yet these adversaries must eventually admit the passion that grows between them.
This fiery heroine and her rash decisions provide a fast-paced, addictive plot sure to keep the pages turning. Tammy Hilz has a talent for weaving impossible situations and then providing the perfect solution in just the nick of time. ONCE A REBEL is brilliantly-crafted, fabulously rendered, and a must read!...
