Whether collecting for your own satisfaction, or professionally for commercial or public display, begin by a careful reading of Caring For Your Antiques & Collectibles.

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.
