5.0 out of 5 stars Antique & Collectible Thimbles, Averil Mathis, February 7, 2000
Those with Ms. Mathis' 1986 book should consider her revised values book of 1997. Same photos in the same order, but 1997 values. The thimble market is booming and a knowledgable thimble collector can reap great finds, and avoid reproductions and the greedy seller. A must for the library of EVERY thimble collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book - A grat value, August 18, 2000
By Kerry A Stevens (Goshen, IN United States) - See all my reviews
I love this book! Mrs. Mathis has written a book that is very helpful to those of us who search auctions and flea markets for thimbles. The value guide in the book has helped me in knowing how much I should or should not be paying. The pictures of her collection are beautiful and well done. I should be so lucky to have a beautiful collection such as hers. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Illustrated, September 3, 2000
By A Customer
The photography is so well done, that it makes it easy to identify even the slightest variation in design from one thimble to the next. The value guide is helpful, but not all of us want to sell our thimbles, we just want to know a little more about their history!
