Color photos of cards are arranged by season and provide quick look-ups of prices and makers,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Age of Postcards Early 1900s (Identification & Values (Collector Books)) (Paperback)
Collecting post cards has been a beloved hobby and pastime from the very beginning of the American postal system and their 19th century introduction to an eager public. THE GOLDEN AGE OF POSTCARD'S identification and values for postcards from the early 1900s will prove an invaluable pick for any interested in pricing or acquiring such postcards, and is a recommendation for any library strong in collector's price guides. Color photos of cards are arranged by season and provide quick look-ups of prices and makers.

I both collect and sell postcard (just a beginner). The best part about this book are the illustrations--just wonderful. I wish there was more text is the only complaint I can think of.
