A specialist in the classic arts of northwest coast Native Americans, Duncan (art, Arizona State U.) examines Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, founded on Seattle's waterfront in 1899. Though exotica from around the world vied for attention at first, soon Native American material grew to be the shop's mainstay. She discusses the art and artifacts, their origins, and their reception. Photographs and advertisements illustrate her account. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
