Book Description

Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List October 1, 2007
Kovels' has consistently outsold all other guides based on its reliable, up-to-date, well-organized, and wide-ranging information. The 40th anniversary edition is better than ever—it's the biggest, most useful and colorful yet, with five times as many photos as before, plus more tips, marks, logos, and other information that collectors want most.

Thoughtfully organized for maximum ease, the categories include everything from Depression Glass, Dolls, and Jewelry to Furniture, Porcelain, and Sports Memorabilia. Indices and cross-references make it more user-friendly than ever, and the Kovels' expert commentary throughout empowers users to buy, sell, and collect with confidence. This edition includes an exclusive report on the previous year's record-setting prices.

Unlike most of its competitors, whose focus is primarily English, Kovels' covers all of the American and international items of most interest to collectors. Perhaps that is why the Miami Herald has called Kovels' Price List "indispensable."

5.0 out of 5 stars kovel's 2008 price list is INVALUABLE, October 31, 2007
This review is from: Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List 2008: The Bestselling Price Guide in America- 40th Anniversary Edition (Paperback)
The Kovel's book is by far the most detailed, entertaining and informative price book I have ever owned. It helps us sellers and buyers and on line shoppers understand real-time market values. I like that it is based on ACTUAL prices. ( after all things are really only worth what someone will pay). It helped me identify things that I was unsure of with some really clear four-color photographs.
The book is packed with TONS of pictures! It also is easy to find things and the Kovel's seem to have a knack to know how to organize such a large group of potential categories. Overall, this book was worth every penny in terms of showing me what things are worth and what they are. No other place I have found that can do both so well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kovels Antique & Collectibles Price List 2008, April 4, 2008
This review is from: Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List 2008: The Bestselling Price Guide in America- 40th Anniversary Edition (Paperback)
This is a nice reference book. Not as complete as I wished. Sometimes difficult to find specific items. However, it is solid and full of information. A nice reference to add to your collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Smattering, October 3, 2008
This review is from: Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List 2008: The Bestselling Price Guide in America- 40th Anniversary Edition (Paperback)
Thick book, good intro to antiques presenting a smattering of what's considered collectable but spreads itself too thin with some categories and is short on depth. Lots of pics but not the ones I was looking for.
