1.0 out of 5 stars A Useless Guide To Collecting Costume Jewelry, January 29, 2000
By 
Mysterymaven (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collectible Costume Jewelry: ID and Value Guide (Paperback)
I found this to be such a useless guide to collecting costume jewelry that it astounds me that this book is currently in its third edition. The only positive is that the photos are in full color. However, only a very limited range of pieces is illustrated. I found the selected pieces to be mediocre and totally uninteresting examples considering the range of vintage jewelry now available on the internet. Harrice Simons Miller's guide has mostly black-and-white photos but is a far more useful tool to the serious collector and a far better value for the money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay..., August 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Collectible Costume Jewelry: ID and Value Guide (Paperback)
This book provides nice color pictures with a fair variety. However, I found that some of the values seem inaccurate, usually too high.

1.0 out of 5 stars ID yes value guide -- zero, August 13, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Collectible Costume Jewelry: ID and Value Guide (Paperback)
There was nothing in this book but pictures and values of those pictures. The chances of having those exact pieces I would feel are about zero to zip. I thought this book would give you some idea what to look for and the value of collecting costume jewelry. I put it up for resale as soon as it arrived. I only wish I would of taken the time to read the other responses and then I would not of lost my money on this item.
