The Standard Antique Guide On The Market.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Miller's Antiques Price Guide 2008 (Hardcover)
For years as an Professional Apprasier. I turn to guides to look up pricing for stuff I am apraisaing. It all in one place and with not having my laptop with me to look online antique databases. I take a couple books along with me and they in the car. I have every copy of this series. It has great color pictures. But the only minus lack of information on some of the pieces listed. The range pricing is too broad. But some of the information were actual sales at auction. Why not list the sale. As with any Antique guide. It a guide and not the true price at which an item may be worth. What the guide does is give you a start point to give what possible the item you are looking at is worth. It an excellant reference book and a muct have to those who do daily appraisal work.

Handy guide for identifying & valuing antiques.,

This review is from: Miller's Antiques Price Guide 2008 (Hardcover)
Another excellent release from Miller's. Great photos and a good variation of items are reviewed and detailed. My only personal regret is that is not more information on Oriental antiques; however the Miller's Chinese & Oriental antiques release covers this area rather well but an additional purchase is required.
4.5 out of 5. Well worth investing in.

8000 color photographs of Antiques!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Miller's Antiques Price Guide 2008 (Hardcover)
The best book on antiques by far - 8000 COLOR photographs, prices on each item, many different subjects, tips on what to look for and excellent index. If you are tired of price guides without knowing what is being referred to, then this guide is for you. Warning - this is primarily a book on mid-range to high-end antiques, and only a few categories on collectibles.
