Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I originally "read" Quarter Share, by Nathan Lowell, in the original podiobook format. I, like many of Nathan's fans, are eagerly awaiting the print release of his fantastic story (and the rest of the 'Golden Age of the Solar Clipper' series) so that I (we) can delve into his fantastic story again (and...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book gets a 4 stars rating because of its expensive price (the book is only 220 pages and full of empty spaces). But, price is always subjective. You may treat it as the cost of your education.Anyway, what makes this book so very valuable is the fact that it is easy to read, clear, definitive, and...
Antique Trader Guide to Fakes & Reproductions, 4th Edition Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I purchased this book when I became interested in antiques and found myself scrolling the pages of Ebay for treasures. The book is invaluable in pointing out many of the creative ways con artists have ingeniously come up with to defraud the unwary buyer. The biggest flaw of the book is that it is a survey...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There is a reason why this book has two reviews after two years in publication--smart people have NOT bought this book. The book is filled with the author's attempt at light humor mixed with his "prestidigitations" and believe me, not a bit of the first 89 pages are worth a dime unless you want to know...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The first book I read in Scholastic's series was Mary Tudor: Courageous Queen or Bloody Mary? (Wicked History), who has a "bad reputation" in history for executing Protestants. So she fit into the infamous category. Francis Drake, however, has a swashbuckling reputation owing to his exploits benefiting...

There are three groups of futures traders - hedgers (the true insiders!), big speculators (supposed to be smart but not always...), and the rest - small specs. The US government publishes reports...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I purchased this because the 2008 version had great reviews compared to other antique guides. One of the strengths was they had more pictures than their competitors. Well, it does have lots of pictures. But there are so few items listed for each section that it is of little use, unless they happen to...
Antique Trader Collectible Paperback Price Guide Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book falls short as a reference book or a price guide although the pictures are nice. Of the 1000+ paperbacks in my collection from the 40's through the 60's, I found 47 in this book. No publisher fared well but Ace Books seemed particularly unrepresented. Authors such as Anderson, Norton, Nourse,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I will have to disagree with the enthusiastic reviews of this book by various users.

So being a seasoned trader, I came to the book with...
