easy to get into,
By merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Assume Nothing: A Manual for Buyers of American and English Antique Furniture (Paperback)
This is a really good book. It gives tips and insights that really opened my eyes. Its made going to antique shops and auctions less a matter of blind trust and more an actvity in deriving the history. Some really interesting frauds are out there and this book can help you separate the old stuff from the "created" from the replicas so you can make up your mind on what you want. (Some of the created items are neat but its good to know they may not have started out as one piece)
