iT WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA ON WHAT YOU SHOULD BE PAYING OR SELLING A BEADED BAGS FOR. IF YOU HAVE ONE, YOU CAN FIND THE TYPE IT IS AND DETERMINE THE AGE, CONDITION AND THE VALUE. IT IS EASY TO READ, WITH LOTS OF PHOTOS. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT PURSES PICTURED, THE PHOTOS ARE ENOUGH TO ENTERTAIN ME FOR HOURS-WISHING I COULD FIND ALL OF THE ITEMS I SEE.
