5.0 out of 5 stars A FUN COLLECTIBLE BOOK and HISTORY LESSON, TOO, April 28, 2002

I have purchased other books in this series that have been rather skimpy and--the truth be told--boring. But the COLLECTIBLES edition is anything but. I picked up a healthy helping of tips and techniques on collecting (and have visted some of the super recommended Web sites). But I also learned a great deal about history through the collectible items featured in the book--like stamps and coins. The political items chapter was fabulous. And I love the cool collectible pictures throughout the book. The variety was neat. This is just a fun and informative book!!!

This review is from: The Everything Collectibles Book: How to Buy and Sell Your Favorite Treasures--From Fabulous Flea Market Finds to Incredible Online Deals (Everything (Hobbies & Games)) (Paperback)

This book is worth getting for all the cool websites it lists, but as a bonus you get gobs more good stuff. It's an interesting intro to collectibles of all kinds. There's practical information and fun historical tidbits about collecting and collectibles. I learned a lot of things I didn't know. I'll be an educated consumer when I visit the flea markets and garage sales in my town. This book totally rocks! As they say on ebay: A+++++

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and informative from start to finish!!!, April 6, 2002

This review is from: The Everything Collectibles Book: How to Buy and Sell Your Favorite Treasures--From Fabulous Flea Market Finds to Incredible Online Deals (Everything (Hobbies & Games)) (Paperback)

This is a great starter book for collectors of all kinds. Just the Web site recommendations alone are worth the purchase price. I found a super wholesale distributor for flea market sellers (like me) that I didn't know existed!!! I've since placed an order for dolls, collector knives, etc. at rock bottom prices!!! Another thing I really like about this book is its breezy and witty approach to things. The author gives us histories of so many collectible items. I'm not a postcard collector, for instance, but I found reading about them fascinating. This book is just plain fun!!!
