Book arrived in only a couple of days in great condition. Very timely and accurate transaction. A very informative book, I will probably get the 2013 when it comes out.

This book must be written for someone other than me or anyone I know. This is the 2nd edition I have gotten, not having learned from the first go around... there is exactly 1 item in this book that I or anyone I know owns and there was nothing in the former edition that pertained to any of us, either. I would recommend borrowing this from a library rather than spending the money for your own copy. (I'll be donating mine in the not-too-distant future.) The only thing of value to me was the brief info. about some of the companies that made the items, but there are a lot of companies missing, so even that was not totally helpful.

This book is not for a beginner for antiques. It is complex to read & understand the items in the book. I would not recommend this book to a novice collector.
