How to Be a Savvy Antiquer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets to Affordable Antiques: How to Buy More for Less! (Paperback)
This book does a wonderful job of steering novices as well as "vintage" antique buyers into making well-thought-out purchases. I found the many tips very helpful. Even though I've been in and out of the antique trade world for 20 years, Mr. Loomis's book gave me a number of insights which I had not been aware of. I highly recommend this book to anyone who dapples in the antique world. One of the many strengths in his writing is that it invites even those with limited resources to have a valuable experience when out antiquing.

A must-have book for you antiquers!!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Secrets to Affordable Antiques: How to Buy More for Less! (Paperback)
This was a good find. I first spotted it in an antique store, but I saved myself $6.00 by buying it through Amazon!! This is an easy read for the novice antique shop goer! I love going through the shops, but know nothing about values, what to look for, etc., etc. This book gives common sense guidelines to shopping for and buying antiques. Enjoy the read.

Read this before you go antiquing!,
This review is from: Secrets to Affordable Antiques: How to Buy More for Less! (Paperback)
This is the book that convinced me I could have fun with collecting even though I don't have an unlimited budget. I got the inside track from a real expert. The author writes as though he's talking to me personally. I can go to an antiques show or flea market now and have the confidence to talk to the dealers, and usually get a better deal on whatever I buy. I bought copies for a couple of my girlfriends who I go antiquing with and they loved it too. Heartily recommended.
