5.0 out of 5 stars A helpful, easy-to-use, collectibles guide, March 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Collectibles Price Guide 2003 (Paperback)

This valuable resource guide not only offers pricing information, but 'closer look' background and history on many, many items. I was able to use this book to take stock of items I currently have and become more knowledgeable about designers and collections I had not yet discovered. The information is concise and readable; the visuals are beautifully done. A big bonus at the end includes a directory of auctioneers, clubs and societies, and, my particular favorite --Internet resources. I've learned a lot from this book and refer to it often. All in all, a very accesible, enjoyable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Book !!!, February 16, 2005

By	Stuart Gardner "www.sdgardner.com" (Fair Lawn, NJ) - See all my reviews

I collect a few things including political memorobilia, silver electric plate, books and ceramics. I bought it to a) make sure I don't overpay in my areas of interest b) to identify anything I could buy and sell on at a profit.

It paid for itself almost instantly - I had no idea digital watches from the 1970's were collectible!! Glad I am a horder.

Great illustrations, interesting and fun to flick through. Good for anyone who loves garage sells or ebay. And anyone who makes a living in this area.
