How to Buy and Sell Antiques
A most useful and entertaining book, which is written in an easy to follow manner by someone who has obviously had considerable experience.

We find that because the content is well broken up into specific areas we use it as a reference point when circumstances arise over which we need additional information. Fiona Shoop sets done some very basic points and highlights the pitfalls that should be avoided. For anyone planning to become a part-time or full time dealer this is a very useful guide.
