About Judith Miller - Press Release

Judith Miller began collecting in the 1960's while a student at Edinburgh University in Scotland. Fascinated by the inexpensive plates she bought in the city's junk shops she began to research their history in books and auction catalogs, and at local antique fairs. She has since extended and reinforced her knowledge of antiques through international research, becoming one of the world's leading experts in the field. Her areas of knowledge include blue and while porcelain, bohemian glass, and collecting antiques.

From 1979 until 1988, Judith served as co-founder of the international best-seller "Miller's Antiques Price Guide" and has since written more than 80 books, many of which are held in high regard by collectors and dealers. Previous titles include "The Style Sourcebook", "How to Make Money Out of Antiques", and "A Closer Look at Antiques". Her forthcoming book with DK Publishing, "Antiques Price Guide 2003" -- the first full color, specially photographed price guide ever to be published -- marks the beginning of an exciting publishing partnership with DK.

Judith is a regular lecturer and contributor to numerous newspapers and magazines, including BBC Homes & Antiques and House & Garden, and appears regularly on radio and TV, most notably as co-host for the popular UK series "The House Detectives" and "The Antiques Trail". She is currently restoring her Edwardian home in North London where she lives with her husband and three children.
