This is without doubt the most beautiful annual price guide on the market today. I have been a loyal reader of the Warman's line of books and have seen this title evolve from a black-and-white book to a gorgeous feast of antiques and collectibles. To call it a price guide is not accurate. This is a book to savor, to read, and to enjoy the lavish images and lovely design. Page after page of this 800-page book are filled with delights big and small. My personal favorite is the chapter on illustration art featuring an introduction by Noah Fleisher who works for Heritage Auctions. The section on Halloween collectibles is also great fun. I saw author Mark Ledenbach on the Martha Stewart Show and he knows his stuff. Whether you are a collector or simply a lover of fine and fun things, you will enjoy this book.

This is a great book to begin with, but even a beginner who already has specific interests will need more detailed, extensive info. There's simply no way to put it all in one book.

"Whether it's a "Wonder Woman" comic book, Lalique glass or a Gustav Stickley sideboard - this guide has it all. I know my copy will take up residence in my car, keeping me armed and ready for the hunt."
-- Marsha Bemko, Executive Producer, Antiques Roadshow

"Warman's Price guide is an essential tool for any treasure
hunter. It is easy to use and has great photos."
-- Leigh Keno, Keno Auctions

This is a good book but it only covers the perfect world. The best of the best is in the book but real life questions of what other items ae worth are left out. For reading enjoyment it is OK. As a guide to items and what they are worth it does not cover everthing well enough.

This is a great book -- lots and lots of photos, all in color, fabulous print quality. And prices galore, so you can compare and contrast. The best price guide of the bunch!

Warman's Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide has come a long way in the past few years, going from black and white to basically an all-color, coffee-table type of book. The design has been revamped and the photos are gorgeous and really help you identify what you may have in your collection. It's of course also packed with great information about the hottest antiques and collectibles on today's market.

Very nice book to have as a reference. Covers a wide range of toppings. I was a little sad that most picture pieces were of museum quality. That was the reason for the 4 out of 5 stars.

IM GLAD I PURCHASED THIS BOOK , IVE SEEN MANY OTHERS THAT ARE NOT AS GOOD .
IT STILL LACKS ON A FEW THINGS BUT IT IS BETTER THAN MOST.

I am the designer on this book. I think it is a beautiful book with great photos and great information for any collector. It is nice to see the photo when trying to identify a book and it does also have just listings. It is a great gift for anybody who likes to collect Antiques.
