Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

I come from a family of collectors, and even before I became an editor at House of Collectibles, you could find me in the Antiques and Collectibles section of the bookstore, checking out the new books. My mom and I were roaming through a store a few months ago, and when I went to find her, she was standing in the A & C aisle, holding a copy of OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES. She was flipping through the pages, looking for her favorite items -- Lladros, Hummels and other porcelain figurines. She told me it was a really good book -- it had everything in it she was looking for! I didn't tell her I was the book's editor until she had finished singing its praises. So there you have it -- a completely unbiased, unsolicited rave review.

--Randy Ladenheim-Gil, Editor, House of Collectibles
