The Bottom Line

When a book has been around long enough to celebrate 25 years of editions and is the publisher's best selling title, they must be doing something right. If you need a general guide, that's well researched and affordable, Schroeder's Antiques Price Guide 2007 just might be the right pick for you.

Guide Review - Schroeder's Antiques Price Guide 2007

It's been a few years since I've added a new edition of Schroeder's Antiques Price Guide. But since the 25th Anniverary Edition is now in full color, I decided it was time for a new book.

I love the idea of the full color pictures, but would like to see a few more, especially in the unusual categories that readers may not be that familiar with. e.g. Thousand Faces Pottery or perhaps Spangle Glass.

The book contains over 500 categories, from the well-known to the obscure -- something for everyone. The book also contains a section on auction houses and a large section of collector clubs.

The one thing I am not sure about is the red print used for the prices, for some reason it bothers me and would prefer to see the book prices printed in the same black color as the text.
