About Judith Miller

Judith Miller began collecting in the 1960s 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 white 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. In October 2002, DK and Judith Miller launched a new publishing program with Antiques Price Guide 2003, the first full-color, specially photographed price guide ever to be published. The tradition continues this season with Collectibles Price Guide 2004, Antiques Price Guide 2004 and Costume Jewelry.

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 BBC 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.
