Not For Beginners,
By
This review is from: Antique & Collectible Buttons: Identification & Values [Volume II] (Hardcover)
While I'm sure this is a helpful book for the serious and advanced collector, it isn't for the beginner, which I am. I didn't see anything in it's description that would have let me know that, so I wasted my money. I am not a collector and never will be; I'm just a beginner button sorter, breaking up big collections and selling individual buttons, pairs or sets.
