More process than directory

This book was a lot like "Fake, Fraud or Genuine" in terms of identification content. I was hoping for a book that would help me find out where some of the odd old things I have came from.This book tells the reader how to recognize pieces that are truly old, and explains the differences between truly old furniture, new furniture made from pieces of old furniture, reproductions, and other categories of collectible pieces.It also has vast sections on cataloging and documenting for insurance and other valuation purposes, and working with appraisers.

Reveals what tomorrow's antiques will be!

Well worth adding to your antiques library! Emyl Jenkins covers both antiques of today plus which items will become the antiques of tomorrow. Well written with good pictures.

Precise and informative look about all your "treasures"

This book does just what the title says. An excellent reference book for just about everything a person might come across in garage sales, collectible stores, auctions, and attics. Fun to read and indexed very well. Learned a great deal from it.

Junk or Junque?

Emyl Jenkins "Appraisal Book" is written for any level of antiques collector. She defines what antiques are, categorizes many periods, styles and different types of antiques, as well as collectibles, and helps the reader understand how to begin the process of valuing an antique. She uses humor and a down-to-earth approach to make her points, and makes the entire process of "antiquing" approachable even to a novice collector.
