Summary: One of the best collectables guide books around
Review: If you are a collector, amateur or serious then this book is for you. It is one of the best around simply because it is easy to use, concise, colourful and downright practical. Okay, so it doesn't list every collectable in the world but no one book will do that. What this book will do for you is give you an idea of the cost of many popular collectibles as well as one offs that occasionally come on to the market. This is also a fun book just to browse through to see what is "in" and what is "not in" in the heady world of antiques-to-be and antiques that are already established. A good all round book on a hard to write about subject. As an added bonus it comes out each year so the suject is constantly being updated.

Summary: Alternatives are better
Review: In this modern online auction driven antique and collectibles market, a book like this can not keep up with values, descriptions, what's hot etc. by the time it comes to your local book store. I have bought and sold antiques and collectibles over the internet and in an antique mall and have found the best way to determine value, standards and validity TODAY as opposed to 5 years ago is to go to E-bay where you will find even the most high-brow of auctioneers and sellers plying their wares.Now if you are looking to sit down, relax, and peruse over the collectibles market, this book is fun to read
