Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Unlike the ubiquitous collectibles price guides, these handbooksDthe first titles in a new series for both novice and seasoned collectorsDdetail the nuts and bolts of starting and maintaining a collection. Consistently formatted, they show what you need to know before, during, and after you start to collect; a "Resources To Further Your Collection" section at the back of each features useful web sites and contact information for auction houses, clubs, collector publications, and more. A valuable history of each collectible is also provided. Contributors to these titles are expert collectors, and both primers are endorsed by the International Society of Appraisers. Other books in the series will highlight how to collect 20th-century glass and Barbie dolls. Highly recommended for public libraries.DJennifer Mayer, Univ. of Wyoming Libs., Laramie

If you're about to dip your toe into the jewelry collecting pool, or you want to become a dealer, you really have to buy this book. It is a well-organized, thorough examination of the history of jewelry, and the market in jewelry. The book has plenty of inside tips no dealer or other collector will give you. Get this book under your belt and you're on your way to being a jewelry maven!
