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!!!!

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.

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.

My sister asked me to order this book for her. She said to give it a good review. It has been very helpful in giving her an accurate value on her collectables. She would not be able to establish an item's worth without the assistance of this book.

I was delighted to get Kovel's 2010 Price Guide. The book is in excellent condition, as described. It arrived within the time frame given for shipping. I intend to keep it for reference. Additionally, it is loaded with tips for storing, cleaning various types of antiques and tips on household safety. Lots of color photos on every page. The seller did a great job with the packaging and the book arrived with no damage caused by shipping. Thanks so much!

It arrived in timely manner,exactly as described, A very informative book on antiques and collectibles. An exceptionally large book, with many details and pictures

I found this book interesting and helpful. I had to look up some items for an
estate sale. Thank You.

I am new to the antiques world, and was looking to identify objects at home that may be too valuable for a garage sale dollar table. This book requires a far greater familiarity with antiques than I have. There are wonderful pictures and some great tips regarding caring for valuable items, but if you don't know what you have, it's very hard to identify it based on weight and measurements or maker's names. I will keep this book for future reference when I do not need full descriptions of objects.

new version, comprehensive, good price, but took a while to arrive, good communication with seller

I was a little surprised to find that some of the prices were arrived at by prices at flea markets and other antique shops. I admit I did not read this information in the front of the book before researching the particular items I was interested in. Pictures were good as were descriptions. The book gives a good idea of the range of prices I believe.
