A very interesting book for introducing beginning appraisers to fake and forged marks. The illustrations are very helpful. Information is plentiful. I would have preferred it to be all in color, though.

Garage Sale: Manual & Price Guide Review

Garage Sale: Manual and Price Guide
Average Reviews:

I have a yearly garage sale. I am a librarian. Therefore, I've read or skimmed many, many books on the subject. I found myself ordering this one again and again from other libraries. Then, I realized it was out of print. Panic! What if the other libraries decided the condition was so bad they had to get rid of it. So, I bought a used copy through Amazon. It's a great manual for having a garage sale, but what makes it invaluable is the price guide. When I have no idea what to price something (like the things I have to ask my husband what they are?), I look here for guidelines. In my opinion, it is the best garage sale book around.

What do you get in this overall pottery guide which is clearer than specialized ceramics price guides? For one the ability to contrast values for different specialized ceramics, from American and English to European and Oriental. For another, you get a general 'bible' of over 10,000 price listings, over 3,000 color photos, and collecting guidelines key to successful pottery and porcelain investing. A 'must' any serious collector should have.

We couldn't find ANY of the collectibles on which we needed information - and the index was the WORST I've ever seen! I felt totally ripped off with this book but it would cost more to return than it was worth. Maybe I can find an antique outhouse and supply it with a fresh 2007 price guide...!

This is a good resource for Royal Doulton items not found in the Charlton Standard Catalogue. The two books together will give you a pretty comprehensive resource for identifying & valuing "most" Royal Doulton pieces.
This duplicates a small portion of the info in Charlton Standard, but includes most things missing from it. It is a great resource for animals, Bunnykins, Character Jugs, Flambe, Burslem, Lambert Art wares and more!
To any Royal Doulton collectors, I recommend BOTH of these volumes! (Charlton Standard Catalogue & Antique Trader)

Antique Trader Vintage Magazines Price Guide Review

Antique Trader Vintage Magazines Price Guide
Average Reviews:

When we moved into our 1920's home,we found boxes left in the attic filled with old fashion magazines. My husband was ready to trash the lot, but being of the pack rat variety I found a home for them in my office.
With the help of The Antique Trader Vintage Magazines Price Guide the door was opened for me to the world of old magazines. The beautiful color photos helped me to easily identify my boxes of "trash" and give them a value.
Most important, the love affair the authors have for magazines comes across in their historical entries. The unique way they organize collectible magazine people into Sleepers like OZ artist W.W. Denslow or Stars like F.Scott Fitzgerald makes me want to haunt local yard sales. My major problem with the book was that I became so fascinated that I wanted more. The book could easily have been double in size and information and kept my interest as both a reader and for use as a desk reference. With what I've learned, our next home will hopefully be an 1890's Victorian with a basement full of Godey's Lady's Book magazines.

Antique Trader Antiques & Collectibles 2009 Price Guide (Antique Trader Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide) Review

Antique Trader Antiques and Collectibles 2009 Price Guide (Antique Trader Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide)
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 have a picture of something you are looking for. They do cover the marks to look for in each section.
Some sections are much bigger than others. For example, bottles are covered well with lots of pictures of different types. I can see now that the long lists in Kovels are more useful if you know what you have. For instance Hopalong Cassidy items would have more listings in Kovels than in Traders.
So, if you want to see lots of pictures to browse and help with identification of what to look for in more detailed books, then this is a good book for that. The pictures are in color and well done.

Antique Trader Tools Price Guide Review

Antique Trader Tools Price Guide

We like this tool price guide book, but we just wish it was set up so you could look up tools by their maker rather than by just what they are. If you wanted to look up a certain Stanley Plane you would have to go to the planes section and read each description to find a Stanley plane. The index does not go by the maker of the tool, it just goes by what type of tool you are looking up. Still a useful price guide with beautiful photos.
