antiques for everyone at every price, a browsing treasury
A most entertaining book for all lovers of old (or not so old) things. Plenty of illustrations (all objects are shown), many in colour,the prices quoted ,may be somewhat inaccurate according to the place where you live and shop, but give you a fair idea of the range of prices. I enjoy browsing through it just for pleasure, and the pleaasure can be renewed each year (with old and new collections! We all love it!

What a fantastic Book!
I got this present for christmas as out of the saxophone, CD-Roms and Videos- it was my favourite. It has EVERYTHING in it. I have discovered so many things in this book that I have. I've also looked at tins and ornaments, studied them closely then gone along to boot sales and so far have picked up around 10 tins featured in the book. Since getting this, I have bought 3 other Millers books. Believe me, this is the perfect present for ANYONE!
