1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Book You Should Consider, February 7, 2006

This review is from: Profiting from Fine-Art Collecting: A Book to Inspire and Promote Art Collecting (Paperback)

One of the joys of being an ex-pat in a remote, developing country is receiving my amazon.com orders. One of the pitfalls is that it is impossible to return items given the expensive postal rates and spotty local postal service. Nevertheless, this is a book I will definitely try to return. The author claims to be an knowledgeable art expert but his main recommendation centers around buying "copy-cat" paintings of the "masters".

Furthermore, his level of English is less than rudimentary. The book is riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. The typeset is 14pt, double spaced, meaning that the the 392 pages is grossly exaggerated.

To top it all off, his suggestions for further reading on the topic of collecting fine art include pertinent magazines such as "Amateur Gardening", "British Birds" and "Railway World". All in all, this is a book that you should stay away from. If it were is a "bricks-and-mortar" bookstore this book would remain unsold, even in the dollar bin.

This review is from: Profiting from Fine-Art Collecting: A Book to Inspire and Promote Art Collecting (Hardcover)

The author only writes about him, the book and companies who work around the art world and writes very less on what I think the book is written for: profiting and collecting fine arts!
