Guide Review - Antique Trader's Antique & Collectibles Price Guide 2008

If you're looking for a book that thoroughly covers specific subjects in depth, this is not the one for you. But if you want an excellent general guide that has interesting tidbits of information about almost everything collectible, this is the one to choose.

Antique Trader's Antique & Collectibles 2008 will be picked up and read over and over again. Why? Because you'll learn something new every time you browse through the pages.

Since I'm always drawn to ceramics, I really enjoyed the huge section in this edition. And especially enjoyed reading about some potteries that aren't very well known.

The book is only 6" x 9", but it is heavy! It might not be a book I'd carry along on shopping trips, but instead would tuck it into a corner of the car for those quick trips back to the parking lot when I want to look something up.

New categories for the 2008 edition include:

  • Decals
  • Satin Souvenir Pillows
  • Nativity Sets
  • John Rogers Groups
  • deLee Art Ceramics
A few of the other categories include: advertising, banks, boxes, furniture, book ends, decoys, Disney, clocks, kitchenware, character collectibles, firearms, Halloween, Christmas, jewelry, metals, miniatures, lamps, rugs, dolls, toys, tools and textiles.
