Best resource of its kind.......2007-04-10
If you're looking for a one-volume price guide -- this is the one. Period. Forget about Beckett.
Super Catalog of Baseball Cards.......2007-02-15
An excellent and quite comprehenwive listing of baseball cards and their values. In fact there is only one set I know of, reviewed by Mr. Lemke a year ago in Sports Collectors Digest, that was not included in the catalog. Still, I would recommend it most highly.
Not all cards are listed, pages were out of order.......2007-02-10
The book is better than most, of course, but it doesn't list many cards. For example, in the 2005 issue, there were cards listed, but in the 2007 issue, those cards were removed for some reason. Plus, in my initial issue, the pages were out of order in about 100 page increments. Thank goodness Amazon replaced it for me and the second issue was correctly paged.
Disappointment .......2007-01-19
I ordered this for my baseball card collecting husband and am very disappointed because the pages are not in order. There is a very large section of pages out of sequence. It makes it very difficult for my husband to rate and price his cards. I would love to return this defective book for a correct one! Then perhaps my confidence in ordering through Amazon would be restored.
Thank you!

About as good as I see out there..........2007-01-10
The 2007 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards has the greatest breadth of any of the baseball card valuations that I've seen on the market, including Becketts. It gives approximate worth for diverse cards in Near Mint, Excellent and Very Good condition, and includes quite a range of cards from the old tobacco cards to card brands that are yet existent. There are numerous items that I'd never heard of, but have stumbled upon, and this catalog has helped 'ballpark' their worth. That being said, there are cards that I have not found within the catalog, but this has been a relatively rare occurence and has not significantly impacted my pursuance of this hobby. There is some occasional disagreement with Beckett's, which perhaps reflects a degree of relativity in value/pricing issues for cards considered by such books, but its diversity of information and almost biblical visage are impressive!
Book Description
An indispensable guide for collectors and dealers who want to compare and evaluate early American antiques. When Albert Sack's
Fine Points of Furniture: Early American--Good, Better, Best was published in 1950, it established a new standard for evaluating American antiques. In his new book, Sack applies this standard to furniture pieces that have appeared on the market in more recent years.
Full color and black-and-white photographs.
Customer Reviews:
Dean of Early American Furniture.......2005-04-09
If you have any interest at all in Early American Furniture, buy this book! Mr. Sack is one of the most knowledgable experts on this subject. This book shows you the subtle differences in what makes a piece good and what makes a piece great. Having his experise on this subject is invaluable if you have any interest in searching for early American antique furniture. He learned from his father, who had an amazing eye, and Mr. Sack shows you what he has learned. He is reknowned as an expert in the field of Early American Furniture. It is a shame that this book is out of print and that one must spend a great deal for a used copy, but this book is worth every penny. Maybe we will get lucky and he will revise it again, but I would not hold my breath.

Lady, ya need to make it longer!.......2007-09-15
I am a Christmas junkie, always have been, so this was a great gift idea for one such as me, and my wife saw this and pounced on it straight off.
I don't think I'm the only one, either -- Christmas is the whole reason for having a calendar, for enduring summer, a reward for keeping our yaps shut during Near-holidays, or Faux holidays, like Labor Day or Valentine's. Christmas is life at its surreal best, the time when we get nostalgic for stuff that didn't really happen. We might be the first group to confuse recollection of television shows with our own lives, and, hey, we REVEL in that.
One moment is typical -- the window stencils and the spray junk that made the images on one's windows. It came right off, but it still irritated the bee-whosis out of our mom. Here is where things get slightly mystical for me. The photo brought back smells and sounds and body memories -- I can think of no other way to describe them -- in a heady and bittersweet rush. I wanted more -- I want more.
This is the one criticism I had -- don't you think something so crucial to American life and light should be a trifle more exhaustive? Couldn't this have been a coffee-table sized book? Are there sequels planned? Maybe year by year, throwing wide the focus? This felt more like an article that was beefed up a bit, and I think Ms. Waggoner could cast a wider net and make her and her publisher much more money and make us Christmas junkies much happier.
Nevertheless, it is highly recommended, buy yourself a copy and a few for friends -- it would make a great Christmas gift, actually -- and get a few copies of the real MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET while you're at it. How are you coming on memorizing the dialogue in A CHRISTMAS STORY, by the way?
JOURNEY TO THE PAST.......2007-07-16
I absolutely loved this book, "It's A Wonderful Christmas: The Best of the Holidays 1940-1965. It took the reader back to the traditions and simpler times of the era. The book gave the history of Christmas' past.
Great pictures of all the Christmas nostalgia!!! I really reminisced about the toys of the 50's and 60's. I had most of them!!
My parents enjoyed the book also!!! My Mom used to work at Woolworth's and it brought back many memories!!!
An awesome book to purchase and put on your coffee table for the holidays!
Love this book........2007-05-13
I really like this book. It covers all the topics and has plenty of photos. Though I missed most of this time period, I just love this era. Full of nostalgia.
A great look at back at they heyday of Christmas' past.......2007-05-10
I spotted this bok while temping at one of Amazon's fulfillment center and purchased it as from my quick perusal of said book I thiought it looked interesting.
Oh boy, it very much is and I'm glad I bought it even though it took several months before they could send it. It was well worth the wait as I love seeing the items for sale back in the day. Then again, I enjoy estate sales and such so this was right up my alley.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and wished it went in deeper into the psyche of the times but oh well. It was still a very good read non the less and it's more of a coffee table book than anything else
Definately worth it for that alone.
christmas book.......2007-03-31
I love this book. It has things in it from when i was a kid. The pictures are great too.
Book Description
An entertaining, touching, and inspiring chronicle of its author's most memorable eBay adventures, The 100 Best Things I've Sold on eBay uses the world of online auctions as the setting for a personal story of friendship, loss, and growth. Lynn Dralle is the granddaughter of Cheryl Leaf, an antiques dealer and larger-than-life personality who passed away in August of 2000 at the age of 88. Lynn literally grew up in the antiques business; she started accompanying her grandmother to antique shows at the age of seven, and over the years came to depend not only on her grandmother's business insights, but on her wisdom, strength of character, and humor.
Near the end of her grandmother's life, Lynn returned home to help run the family antiques store. She eventually began buying and selling on eBay to pay for her grandmother's nursing home expenses. As Lynn weaves memories of her time with her grandmother into stories about the items she has sold on eBay, she creates a book that is partly a memoir of the woman who inspired and brought together the entire family and partly a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to succeed at online auctions. Through it all, Lynn's fresh and enthusiastic voice keeps the tone upbeat. This book will appeal to readers who enjoy stories about family as well as those who just like to read about auction successes.
Customer Reviews:
Great starter book!!.......2007-05-21
This book gave me the knowledge and courage to start selling things on e-bay. In an interesting narrative, Ms Dralle gives helpful hints and insights into what she sells on e-bay and why she thinks it sells. I'm glad I bought it and I bought several of her other books after reading it.
Love this book!.......2007-05-19
I keep it for reference. Sure I may never find the exact items she lists in her book - but I may find something by the same company.
Entertaining and Informational!.......2007-05-19
What an entertaining book!! I couldn't put it down! Each story shows that you just never know what treasure you've found!! Whether you're a ebay seller, garage sale shopper or Mom looking for a quick read, I HIGHLY recommend this book!
GREAT MIXTURE OF FUN, INFORMATIVE & ENTERTAINING!.......2007-05-19
This book was so much fun to read! It was not only informative by providing details from the purchase of "who would have known" merchandise to the end of the re-sale of the item, it also shared personal experiences and valuable tips. A great mixture of entertainment and inspiration! LOVED IT!!
PowerSeller ENJOYS !.......2007-05-19
Have been an ebay powerseller for 10 years. You can NEVER know it all! Found lots of pertinent information and new knowledge here. I am also an antiques dealer like Lynn and her grandmother but enjoyed a new prospective on the business and running a shop, etc. Enjoyed each and everyone of the 100 stories and Cheryl's reminiscing about her grandmother. Hope someday just one of my seven grandchildren feels I am special enough to discuss after I am "gone". GOOD book and you won't want to put it down once you get started! "grandpas"
Book Description
The innovative designs in silver jewelry made in Europe and North America in the 20th century are fascinating and highly popular today. This new book starts with the end of Victorian styles, just before the turn of the twentieth century, and proceeds to display and explain the relationships in Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Mexican, Native American, Mid-century Realistic, and Modern Abstract styles right up to the 1990s. Beautiful color photographs clearly show the details, makers' marks, and fine workmanship that make each piece of jewelry fascinating to so many collectors today.
Customer Reviews:
Fantastic Designer Resource!.......2001-03-14
As a jewelry designer, I found this book to be incredibly valuable. While the text is not particularly well written, the photography is outstanding. Great detail shots. Many of the pieces have pictures from the back as well as the front, which is very valuable if you are trying to determine how a piece was made. Signature marks are shown as well. It is a good chronological view of the history of jewelry using spectacular examples of work. I learned a great deal from this book and would recommend it to other designers. As a book for collectors, I thought the assessment information (good, better and best) was without meaningful context and also had no monetary reference. Designers - this is a 5 star book. Collectors - this is a 3 star book.
Nancy Schiffer's "Silver Jewelry Designs".......2000-10-03
I collect silver jewelry--mostly Mexican & bought this book as a reference.
I think the photos are great, especially the colorful ones in the first part of the book on Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, & Art Deco jewelry, however, the "Values Reference" price guide in the back is very poor. There are no prices listed for many of the pieces shown in the book & the descriptions in the price guide often don't quite match up with the descriptions accompanying the photos, so it is hard to determine the correct price. Also, I think some of the prices quoted are way too high if you compare the prices in the book with, for example, prices on E-bay.
If this book is ever republished, I think the "Values Reference" should be totally revamped & I think the photo captions should follow a more logical order--such as from top to bottom or clock-wise. In the present edition they often don't.
Buy this book for the lovely photos, but if you need a price guide I don't recommend it.
Pleasing to the eye, frustrating to read........1999-05-09
As a coffee table book, 'Designs' is an excellent and pleasant pictorial example of silver jewelery from around the world. As a reference work for a collector 'Designs' at more times than is acceptable is a headache to read. Attempting to determine which of the illustrations fit the authors descriptions is time consuming and should be unnecessary.This problem is evident in the photos of multiple pieces and in the good, better, best sections. For reference purposes, order is lacking. For good, better, best selection, information is lacking.As a jewelery catalog, this book passes muster. As a reference work, I will return the book to its owner and will not purchase a copy for my own modest library.

Old? New? Sidelocks? Boxlocks? Help!.......2004-11-07
The book has a lot of history, and is very informative on the history of double guns, and especially detailed in that of American heritage, I read a substatial amount about auto ejectors which I understand, twisted bore and smooth bore, pretty much self explainable, but exactly what is a sidelock, what is a boxlock? How do they differ? Old or new which way is the way to go? I look forward to buying a few doubles and using them. Obviously I do not need a $10,000, or even a $15,000 plus double, but I would like one I could use in the field and have something of value down the road in the next 20 or 30 plus years. I think a few informative drawings and discriptions a little more of the understanding of the workings and parts in detail would be benefical. I am not new to firearms for I have a found respect of them and their uses in more than a few areas but doubles are fairly new to me, and with that, new terminology and parts are hard to understand without knowing what to look for.
Definitive Work.......2004-07-14
More McIntosh. I don't know who has the definitive work on shotguns, but this one must be close. Especially loved the section on spagetti shotguns. I can tell you up front that, for American guns, he prefers Foxes, but if you have read his works, you already know that.
This is just more McIntosh. And that is good, even though he has ruined my life. For years I've just considered guns to be tools like drills and saws .... tools to be used but not pampered. Then I discovered McIntosh, and Italian shotguns, and life has not been the same since.
I've been shooting Japanese. Totally reliable. Never had a problem. But it's like driving a Toyota. I want a Ferrari.
Michael is to blame.
Good Overall Review of High-Grade Shotguns.......2003-10-22
I agree with the reviewer from Seattle -- this book is strictly about high-grade shotguns such as Parker, L.C. Smith, Fox, the Winchester 21 and many others, and has nothing to do with handguns. Overall it's a good book for this type of shotgun.
Review above is Baloney.......2000-10-20
The above review is a bunch of baloney by someone who has never read the book. This book has nothing to do with handguns at all. It's about shotguns, and specifically about the two barrel variety. - - This happens to be an excellent book and a great resource for someone contemplating the purchase of a nice double gun. - -
Best Guns.......2000-04-21
Best guns depicts what is there the best to use for when looking for a gun. McIntosh clearly has a wealth of experince and love of the subject that he writes on.

Essential Decorative Painter's Source Book.......2001-01-29
Florence de Dampierre's The Best of Painted Furniture is a "must have" source book for any decorative paint artist. It is filled with gorgeous photographs of exquisite furniture displayed both alone or "in situ". Each chapter focuses on a different region of Europe, as well as America, with an emphasis on the changing of painting styles from a fascinating historical perspective. It is an inspirational idea book, and is invaluable when trying to capture the feel of a certain era. Famous decorative paint artists from each coutry are discussed and featured, and the evolution of certain styles of painting, for instance chinoiserie, are examined. It is a painstakingly researched book, and the ideas from the past four centuries unfold in a unique and creative way. The author shows how the painted furniture styles of past centuries blend into modern settings, and also examines painted metal and papier-mache furniture, as well as the care of painted furniture, in general. Creative inspiration and practical advice and a healthy serving of decorative painting history gives this book 5 stars, in my opinion. Enjoy!

The director of the Lucasfilm Archives says that before Return of the Jedi, it just never occurred to anyone to formally store and catalog the accumulated "stuff" associated with the Star Wars films. Stormtrooper helmets and lightsabers were crammed next to models of tauntauns and sandcrawlers in closets and cubbyholes. Only when George Lucas was surrounded by all this junk for a Jedi publicity shot did the Lucasfilm folks realize what an amazing collection they had.
That collection only grew when Lucas scored with the popular Indiana Jones trilogy, which added all manner of whips, swords, and idols to the archive. This photo-packed book chronologically surveys the collection's highlights: props, models, storyboards, backdrops, and sketches, spanning all six films. Fans of either (or both) series will be gratified by a glimpse at these oh-so-cool artifacts. Unfortunately, the text isn't quite as edifying as the pictures. Behind-the-scenes insights, such as the fact that Imperial Walkers were a late substitution for Norwegian army tanks and that Indy's shooting of the swordmaster in the market was a fatigue-induced ad lib, often take a back seat to unnecessary plot recaps and equally superfluous explanations (for example, that the Force is sort of like chi). Of course, the artifacts from the archive are the real attraction, and they don't disappoint. --Paul Hughes
Book Description
George Lucas has produced some of the most popular movies ever, including the classic Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies. Thanks to Lucas's foresight and the dedication of Lucasfilm archivists, the artifacts used in the making of his films have been painstakingly preserved. From Star Wars to Indiana Jones presents some of the best of Lucasfilm's enduring creations, from Yoda and R2-D2 to the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail. Now readers everywhere can take a tour of the marvelous world of the Lucasfilm Archives, with its incredible collection of costumes, props, puppets, models, and matte paintings used in the making of both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies. Veterans of the legendary first Industrial Light & Magic effects team that created Star Wars share their secrets, along with an astonishing array of behind-the-scenes production illustrations, storyboards, and prototypes—many appearing for the first time in book form—all accompanied by a lively text that tells the fascinating stories behind the art of movie-making. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of full-color photographs and illustrations, this treasury captures the remarkable imagery, as well as the wonder, of the Lucasfilm universe in an essential acquisition for countless fans the world over.?

Good Films, Good Book.......2005-06-17
I love archival books like the "From Star Wars to Indiana Jones: The Best of the Lucasfilm Archives" and this is one of my favourites, it's got tons of images from all the Star Wars and Indy movies. The text is somewhat unsubstantial, however the layout and design make up for any flaws. All this and quality you can expect from the best "Making Of" guy in the buisness, Mark Cotta Vaz. This makes for perfect coffee table reading for any film buff and a great price too. A great addition to any film fan's bookshelf.
Great Collection........2002-04-29
This book offers an inside look at the huge collection of the Lucasfilm Archives. Conceptual art, models, props, puppets, masks, and various other movie making elements from the original STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES trilogies are examined and the last few pages look at three or four items from other Lucasfilm projects including WILLOW and HOWARD THE DUCK. The text is more than just element descriptions and some of the information is interesting and rather fascinating. A great book for any STAR WARS and/or INDIANA JONES fan and a must for a Lucas buff.
Why George Lucas will always eclipse the Star Trek Franchise.......2001-11-29
This book is proof positive why George Lucas and Speilberg will always be superior to the Star Trek Franchise with their brand of movies. The pictures in this one are a must have for any fan of Star Wars or Indiana Jones. The complete story boards. Not just crude renderings. The masks, the designs that didn't make it into the movie. The characters in all their films are not by formula. All the Star Wars aliens and models from Return of the Jedi are in this volume. You can see how closely the story boards match what would eventually would become the movie.
Great pictures.......2001-07-26
Fun book to peruse. I'd have liked more details about construction of props or pics of props being built. Also, more "Star Wars" than "Raiders" despite the title.
Why Didn't Someone Think of This Before!.......2000-12-07
Last year a good friend loaned me this book, with the comment, "You're gonna love this..." I picked it up on a bus ride and started to read. That night, I finally put the book down after finishing the entire thing. This book is phenomenal. I have always loved Star Wars, and the chance to look at many of the models, etc. was a treat. The prototype monsters, characters, etc. were also a plus, but my favorite section was that dealing with the models of the Imperial ships. The Indiana Jones section was also incredible, and this was another favorite of mine. Although there has been a lot of hype around Star Wars stuff, and many books have been published around the making of the movie, Indiana Jones has had less coverage, so this book was a great resource. Just goes to show what can happen if you dig around in there for a few hours!

Customer Reviews:
Excellent reference.......2003-11-23
This is a really good book for finding flea markets. Each state is covered (a map shows the state at a glance and the key fleamarket towns shown) and for each flea market it says the town, address & directions to get there, dates/times when its open, cost of admission, features such as typical types of items you'll find there, number of booths, rates if you're a dealer and want to sell at the flea market, contact info and web site if they have one.
Really full - it was neat to see Wellfleet covered in here. When I was little my grandparents (who lived on Cape Cod) would take me there to browse through the stalls - I usually had a small allowance of a dollar or two to spend....thank goodness my allowance is bigger now :)
Anyway, great book, seems to be really complete although I've only gone to a few local flea markets that I can get to.
Definitely recommend this as I haven't found anything else that comes close to being as good
