Antique trader Guide 2007.......2007-04-04
As always a useful reference for the collector. My wife and I buy and sell glassware as well as other small collectibles and antiques and find this to be one of the more useful general guides for pricing and identifying a range of items.
Good to get a general idea of prices.......2007-03-15
This book works well to get a general idea of the value of items, but it has some bare spots. They cover some items in great detail and others in very general terms.
I would have liked it better if there was more discussion about what causes the variation in prices of certain categories.

Makes it quick and easy to use this as a take-along tote for flea market ventures........2006-10-15
The expanded new edition of a classic book collector's market guide provides full color and plenty of detail, updating prices for over 5,000 books and using charts to help identify first editions --which can be a tricky process, as publisher's marks vary from publisher to publisher. A new chapter on children's books has been added, while Top Ten lists of rarities and an alpha listing by author makes it quick and easy to use this as a take-along tote for flea market ventures.

Title Misleading.......2006-03-13
I bought, then returned this book. It may be a fine book for some but the word "Antique" in the title is deceptive. I am interested in antique books. Considering the fact that books have been published for centuries, a shotgun listing of books of relatively recent vintage may serve some well but was useless to me. Sorry, Mr. Russell. Better lose the "Antique Trader" title if you have another printing.
A Good Addition...........2006-01-30
Lighten up a little, guys. The book is THREE years old, fer chrissakes! NO book, even Ahreans, is going to cover everything AND continually be up-to-date on the fluctuations of the market (and market values), but each reference book you purchase adds a little something to your knowledge based, and this one does as well. The chapter on pseud.s adds yet another dimension to the book seller's (and/or collector's) knowledge.
Antique Trader Book Collector's Price Guide.......2005-09-17
This book is very helpful to me as I buy and sell used books.
A Guide That's Worth the Money.......2003-09-22
So many times I have purchased books that promise the information I will need to be knowledgable about a subject. And so many times it is an empty promise.
Antique Trader Book Collector's Price Guide makes no empty promises. It's filled with accessible information that informs the reader on this complex subject. I've not found one easier to use.
If you are interested in collecting or selling books, this guide belongs in your library.
Book Description

Gun Trader's Guide.......2007-08-25
For at least the last five or six years I have purchased this guide. This and the Blue Book of Gun Values really work well together for me in making an educated reference point when out in the field and in the vault as well. I like this guide because of the pictures too and there's quite a bit of information and history in it too.

Good book with lots of photos.......2007-01-04
Excellent book for the photos that show most of the guns listed. Price ranges given are good.
There are several much better choices for gun values.......2004-08-30
This book is of little value to the serious gun buyer/seller and gives only a rough approximation of a small number of guns in the world. I strongly suggest you instead choose the 25th edition of the Blue Book of Gun Values or the 2004 edition of the Standard Catalog of Firearms. Both have much more detailed information than Gun Trader's Guide in terms of number of guns, conditions, variants, prices, and other useful reference info. The Standard Catalog also has a lot of photos, while the Blue Book has almost none. The Standard Catalog and the Blue Book are what the dealers use in pricing used guns. Either is far better than Modern Gun Values, in my opinion, and I have been a gun hobbyuist for 40+ years.

Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide.......2007-03-28
Good price guide for many (but not all) of Royal Doulton products (tableware not included). An improvement over Charlton in that it provides colour pictures as opposed to Charlton's mostly black/white.Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide
Good Resource for Animals, Bunnykins, Flambe by Royal Doulton.......2007-01-04
This is a good resource for Royal Doulton items not found in the Charlton Standard Catalogue. The two books together will give you a pretty comprehensive resource for identifying & valuing "most" Royal Doulton pieces.
This duplicates a small portion of the info in Charlton Standard, but includes most things missing from it. It is a great resource for animals, Bunnykins, Character Jugs, Flambe, Burslem, Lambert Art wares and more!
To any Royal Doulton collectors, I recommend BOTH of these volumes! (Charlton Standard Catalogue & Antique Trader)

Antique Trader Clocks Price Guide: Including All Types of Clocks - 17th through 20th Century (Antique Trade Clocks Price Guide).......2005-08-11
A brave title with "ALL Types of Clocks" and it disappointed as it did not include many (if any) small Boudoir Clocks. Few 20th Century clocks only 1 electric clock. Few mentions of swiss clocks of note. NO INDEX - what sort of book dose not have an index.
Like many American authors - if it does not happen in the USA it does not happen.
I would not recommend this book to those who collect clocks from "the world" as the world is greater than the USA.

Devoted to Antiques Roadshow? Wondering if Great-Granddad's cane is worth anything? If it's a carved Narwhal whalebone presentation cane, it's worth $2,530. And that delicate 14-inch platter you picked up at an estate sale just might be Mulberry Ware and worth $250.
The Country Americana Price Guide is devoted to early American antiques and their modern-day collectibility. Though "Country Americana" is often thought of as products produced and used in rural areas, editor Kyle Husfloen points out that many items we consider "country" were actually mass-produced in cities. For the guide's purposes, he says "country" refers to "items [which] reflect our yearning for the charm and nostalgia of the 'good old days.'"
With 43 categories, the book covers a vast amount of collectibles from baskets and bootjacks to cash registers to fruit jars to woodenwares and writing accessories. Each section is prefaced by an explanation of what the items were used for, where and when they were produced, and a comment on the current prices. Descriptions are short and clear. For example, "Pitcher, 10" h. brushed cobalt blue tulip decoration, 'Burger & Lang, Rochester, NY,' 1 gal., ca. 1870 (some surface wear & chips along the rim from use) $605." Each page features four or five black-and-white photos of the items, plus there is a 16-page section of color examples.
For beginning collectors, auctioneer Tom Porter provides a set of rules to shop by. Rule number one, he says, is "buy what you like" because "who can put an monetary value on enjoyment?" While the Country Americana Price Guide is interesting to leaf through, it's primarily meant for serious collectors. --Dana Van Nest
Book Description
Country Americana is one of the hottest collecting and decorating fields in the US. Now this completely revised, updated and expanded third edition covers more than 40 country related categories, all highlighted by over 1000 photographs. Everything from baskets to woodenwares is included, with each item carefully described and priced. Many leading authorities provide expertise and a special 16 page full color section and helpful appendices further enhance this valuable overview of the market. Sure to appeal to HGTV viewers and devotees of trendsetters such as Martha Stewart.

Interesting information, but unrealistic prices........2003-06-04
This price guide has alot of good information and pictures that can be used for comparison purposes, but if a dealer were to base his prices on some of those in the book, he would end up "sitting on" his inventory for a long time. Even a New York dealer or an ebay seller would have trouble getting some of these prices. I'm a dealer in the middle of antique country in Penna., and specialize in 'country' items. Perhaps the duck decoy for $132,000 is given as an example of an extreme, but the book would be more useful if it just covered the average, good quality antique. There's a tendency today to over-estimate the value of antiques (eg. Antiques Roadshow), but in today's economy, that has just become 'wishful thinking'. Would that it were true.
A First Class Volume On Country Americana !.......2000-07-26
This 432 page, softbound, 6 x 9" year 2000 book is really handy to keep with you as a reference guide when you antique. There are about 50 full color and 1000 black and white photos. Year 2000 values are provided. In addition to articles on investing in antiques, major topics range from baskets, butter molds and stamps, cash registers, chalkware and decoys to kitchenwares, laundry room, lightning rod balls, shaker items, tobacciana and writing accessories. Each topic is comprehensively covered, and individual items contain enough detail for easy item identification. It is truly one of the most comprehensive and in-depth price guides ever published on these important cultural artifacts. You'll refer to it often.
