Customer Reviews

The best antique guide for amateurs!
This is an amazingly useful and interesting book for amateur antique collectors. It's full of pictures of antiques and fascinating asides about porcelain, furniture, japanese sword hilts, etc., all laid out in full colour.
The core information is about prices, of course - everyone wants to know what their item is worth!
It's a great book to browse through, and I've already bought another copy to give as a present.
All-in-all, highly reccomended!

Antique price guide 2004
This book offers lots of good pictures , Making finding antiques a lot easier, Unfortunatley the picture all seem to be those objects in excellent condition. It features alot more down to earth things that you could find at bootfairs & charity shops. I still think some of the value prices are way over the top. And items would only fetch this kind of money if in excellent condition. The down side of this book is it is far to big to carry out & about. But it does give a good idea of what to buy & what not to buy
