Book Description

Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List September 1, 2009
America's leading authority on antiques and collectibles presents the latest, most up-to-date edition of the biggest and best-organized price guide, with 100 percent, all new, actual prices in 700 categories!

Now in its 42nd edition, Kovels' is the only guide that lists actual prices collected from the previous year's sales. It is the best illustrated—with 2,500 full-color photographs—most complete, and easiest-to-use guide to finding the value of what every collector, from the casual hobbyist to the antiques professional, owns or discovers. Kovels' is the only source for the most current, actual prices—no Web site, not even the Kovels' own, has this information. The most trusted name in the antiques and collectibles pricing business, Kovels' also has more tips, marks, logos, and photographs of items—in all price ranges—than any other book on the market.

Organized into 700 categories that cover an enormous range of interests, from Pressed Glass, Pottery & Porcelain, and Jewelry to Furniture, Photography, and Sports Memorabilia, this guide includes user-friendly sidebars, cross-references, and expert insider comments and tips throughout, allowing readers to buy, sell, and collect with confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of a Kind Resource for Collectors and Sellers!, October 5, 2009
This review is from: Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide 2010: America's Bestselling and Most Up to Date Antiques Annual - 42nd Edition (Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List) (Paperback)
This price guide is incredibly thorough! There are thousands of prices crammed into this book that cover a huge variety of items. All the prices in the book are actual prices rather than estimates so I feel confident that these prices are giving me an accurate reading of the market.

Besides the prices, I also found the information on the sidebars to be very helpful and enjoyed the many color pictures included. There are a huge variety of items here, but the Kovels do a great job of organizing them so you can easily find what you're looking for. All in all, it's a spectacular companion to anyone interested in antiques and the kinds of prices you should be paying for them. Many thanks to the Kovels for saving me time and money!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Antique and collectible I.D., February 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide 2010: America's Bestselling and Most Up to Date Antiques Annual - 42nd Edition (Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List) (Paperback)
If you know what you have and it's easily identified such as a name brand or specific logo, date, size etc. then this book may help. Far more of the book should have been devoted to descriptions and photo I.D. such as the side bars throuhout the book show. The one line descriptions and price that fill most of the pages are a waste in my opinion. If you know exactly what you have and want a value then this book may be for you. If you are trying to identify what you have then look elsewhere for help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recovering FAmily Treasures, November 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide 2010: America's Bestselling and Most Up to Date Antiques Annual - 42nd Edition (Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List) (Paperback)
Such a pleasure to see the value in recovered family treasures that would normally be lost or put in a garage sale. This book is so very informative to the average person who has no knowledge of the valur of forgotten things. It has colorful pictures that give you a very good idea of what you are looking for and up to date values. It is a valuable addition to anyones book shelf.
