Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
It may seem too specific a subject for more general collector's reference shelves, but many collect razors and will find this specific guide to their identification and value and important reference. Black and white and color photos of selected antiques accompany charts and graphs of values packaged in a format perfect for take-along tote. -Midwest Book Review

Wrong book pictured,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Standard Guide to Razors (Paperback)
The book is a good reference for any collector. However, the book pictured online is the Second Edition, which we thought we were receiving. We received the first edition, not the second updated version as was pictured online.
