5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must' any serious collector should have., December 11, 2006

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Antique Trader Pottery and Porcelain Ceramics Price Guide (Paperback)

What do you get in this overall pottery guide which is clearer than specialized ceramics price guides? For one the ability to contrast values for different specialized ceramics, from American and English to European and Oriental. For another, you get a general 'bible' of over 10,000 price listings, over 3,000 color photos, and collecting guidelines key to successful pottery and porcelain investing. A 'must' any serious collector should have.
