Review on Caring for your antiques&collectibles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Protecting Your Treasures: A Guide to the Care and Preservation of Antiques and Collectibles (Paperback)
The book was full of nice tips and information on general caring/storing of collections. However I found it too general, and in most cases, with topics/items that I am very much interested in, the information is too general that it is not much help for me. There was clearly lack of more indepth information on papermoney and coin as well as Toy collections. As well as not much information on how and where to purchase containers and other means of storage. The book I received also did not have the same cover as showed in the webpage, though title and author was the same.
