5.0 out of 5 stars If you do eBay or collect or go to garage sales PERFECT, July 31, 2006

By	Joyce Schwarz "Joyce Schwarz" (Marina Del Rey, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is so easy to use-- great price guide to take along on your antique hunt. A whole list of consultants in various areas of expertise help with this book. It covers everything from Holday Memorabilia to marbles to posters to sports stuff to sewing stuff to Teddy Bears and Toys. Also great section on the weifd and wonderful. Also great list of clubs, societies and organizatins. Space memorabilia, rock and pop, radios, pez dispensers, glass, costume jewelry, ceramics -- almost everything around your grandma's house or you'll see at a garage sale including early computers, comics, and watches. Great pictures -- of almost everything with nice hints as to how to take a closer look at a Coca Cola clock and collector notes. Good range of prices and also explains when it was made and how tall etc so you don't get confused. That old pair of straberry shaped earings are not junk-- they could be worth $70-$100 if they are by Weiss. Even an iPod poster could be worth up to $120.00 That 1940's PINK perfume bottle could be worth a $1000 or more...buy this book and you could get RICH!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Format!, March 16, 2006

By	Sara Malloy (Chicago) - See all my reviews

Here is a book you will be unable to put down. The pictures are very clear, the information and descriptions are well done, and especially valuable are the reference sources. This book should appeal to many ordinary collectors.
