1.0 out of 5 stars Too many black and white pictures, January 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Miller's: Chinese & Japanese Antiques: Buyer's Guide (Hardcover)
I bought this book to help me discern chinese porcelain and learn a little more about the oriental collectables. This book has too many black and white photos and falls short of being a necessary refrence guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great sampler., February 3, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Miller's: Chinese & Japanese Antiques: Buyer's Guide (Hardcover)
Encompassing 2000 years of history, and everything from ceramics to furniture to Mao era propaganda, it isn't a comprehensive guide to any one subject. It isn't meant to be; nevertheless it serves as a full intro to the field in one portable volume. Several thousand pieces with prices in Brit pounds (most for museum quality specimens, not the more everyday kind). About 70% b&w, though does include some lovely color sections. Still a bargain.
