The best price guide book

Kovel's price guide: For a collector this is the best book to purchase. down to earth with prices and has everything.

Kovels - Always Useful

For information on a wide variety of antiques or collectibles, it's almost as good as Warman's. But, really, I like having both books available for use. I've found, however, that if I know what I'm interested in, I'm better off spending the money and getting a book specific to that antique or collectible (if there's one available.) Nevertheless, a good reference book to get someone started in collecting. Prices listed vary greatly from what one finds on internet market; you need to be aware of this with some antiques or collectibles.

Need more puctures

Excelent to review but need more pictures about products and most clearly explanation about the prices right.

Here is why you should check this book out!

This is the first book I had seen by the Kovels and I am totally impressed!It is just as it says-a listing of items and their estimated values!It does contain some helpful hints and small black and white photos through out (of some items).If you are looking for a photo guide-this is NOT it(I wasn't).Otherwise it is VERY informative.It also contains some background information about the companies (ie-Tiffany's,etc).Overall a great book and great authors!

Invaluable information on a plethora of collectibles

If you're an avid garage sale goer, this is a good piece of reference to keep in your car before you spend too much for an item that really may not be worth as much as you are hoping.The "Antiques Roadshow" mentality has everyone thinking that they have treasures when they really have just a bunch of very old junk. On the flip-side, some things you might just think are junk could really be treasures after all.Readers should keep in mind that this is a price guide, not a price rule. In other words, an item is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. An item may be listed as having a value of $400 (for example), but you may be hard-pressed to find a buyer (even on an on-line auction) who is willing to pay more than $50. Kovel's is a pretty awesome guide as long as you keep that in mind. A price guide is also no replacement for real-world experience, training and study. Memorizing the contents of this book will not make you a candidate to be an appraiser for Christie's or Sotheby's... but if you are an amateur collector or have been collecting for years, it's a great reference to have at your fingertips.
