This magazine (it's acutally more like a newspaper) is a publication that I look forward to getting every week. I read on average, 80 - 90% of the articles. Traditional antique collectors and Collectible collectors alike will always find some articles, appraisals and commetary that will be of interest.

This magazine is published 43 times a year, with anywhere from 48 to 64 pages per issue. Many of the issues hold exclusive excerpts from Krause Publications antiques and collectibles books on subjects like depression glass, vintage fishing lures, Hummel figurines, Santa dolls ... the list goes on and on. Regular columns appear on fine art, the antiques market, antique furniture, free subscriber appraisals, antique dolls, silver care, letters to the editor and more! As well as relevant news on antiques and collectibles. The Antique Trader website [...] has a free magazine sample (in PDF format) available for download on their homepage.

Mainly all ads, not very much content on or about antiques as bragged about.

This is my favorite antiques magazine because it's different than any other - tons of research, news and smart, funny columns. It has cool features on really unusual antiques like glasshouse whimsies, Scalp Level School art and industrial antiques. This is for people who are interested in collecting, selling and decorating with antiques. It is much different now than it was in 2005 and is a really fun read!

I'm a little disappointed I purchased this for my dad for father's day I thought it was a magazine but it's actually a 6 page flyer with 3 holes on the side to put in a binder. I just think it's a little pricey for a flyer but he said he enjoys it and the information is good.
