Assassin's Creed Official Game Guide by Prima Games

This beautiful book showcases hundreds of figural silver items that were used for many purposes during the luxurious Gilded Age. These endearing and sometimes whimsical designs, shown in nearly 600 color photos, include accoutrements for the dining room, the writing desk, the sewing room, the nursery, and much more. Among the items shown and described are spoons, tea balls, napkin rings, inkwells, pens and pencils, matchsafes, cigar cutters, thimbles, chatelaines, belt buckles, and baby rattles. Historical background plus valuable information on manufacturing techniques and marks is also included. With values provided in the captions and an extensive bibliography, this is a wonderful book for new and experienced collectors of figural silver novelties.

Originally hailing from the United Kingdom, David Hodgson left his role as a writer of numerous British video game magazines (including Mean Machines, Computer & Video Games, and the Official Nintendo and Sega Saturn magazines) and a bohemian lifestyle on a dry-docked German fishing trawler to work on the infamous GameFan magazine in 1996. David helped to launch the fledgling GameFan Books and helped form Gamers' Republic in 1998, authoring many strategy guides for Millennium Publications, including The Official Metal Gear Solid Mission Handbook. After launching the wildly unsuccessful Incite Video Gaming and Gamers.com, David found his calling, and began authoring guides for Prima Games. He has written more than 30 Prima strategy guides, including The Godfather: The Game, Knights of the Old Republic, Perfect Dark Zero, Half-Life 2, and Burnout Revenge. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Melanie, and an eight-foot statue of the great Cthulhu.

Michael Knight has worked in the computer/video game industry since 1994 and has been an author with Prima Games for more than 10 years, writing over 60 guides during this time. Michael has used both his degree in military history and experience as a high school teacher to formulate and devise effective strategies and tactics for hit titles such as the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Hitman series. He has also authored several titles in the Star Wars universe, including Star Wars: Republic Commando, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and Star Wars: Empire at War. Michael has also developed scenarios/missions and written game manuals for SSI, Red Storm Entertainment, and Novalogic.When he is not busy at work on an upcoming strategy guide, Michael likes to spend time with his wife and four children. It was with their help that Michael used his abilities and experience to write three travel/strategy guides on Disneyland and Southern California, in which he developed tips and hints to help vacationing families save time and money while maximizing their fun.
