'This is a masterly command of the insurance of fine art and jewellery. It is comprehensive, easy to navigate and with excellent case studies which make the whole very readable. It will become compulsory study for a serious underwriter, broker, risk manager or lawyers who advise on insurance although hopefully there will be fewer legal disputes if the book is read in advance.'
