A handy field guide for quick identification of T.V. Lamps and values with extensive color photographs. A must have for the beginner and serious collector to take to flea markets and auctions.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource book for antique lovers/collectors., October 12, 1999

By	Dolores S. Reilly (West Chester, PA) - See all my reviews

If you are an avid seeker of bargains and/ or collector of treasures, you need this book! After browsing through this book, I remembered seeing similar lamps at recent antique shows. I was not familiar with the lamps but heard someone comment on their future value. This book was most informative and an easy reference. The photos in the book are excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars TV Lamps: Identification and Value Guide, September 14, 2003

By	Antique Lover--NYC (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

Who Knew?! What an easy-to-digest guide to a rare and forgotten art! Not filled with professional jargon and flea market lingo. Perfect for the treasure hunting novice. Santiso's extensive knowledge and collection of such an obscure genre of antique art is a sign of pure genius. Bravo to the Math Teach gone retro art king!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
This was supposed to be a reference book. I found it only to be a book with a collection of pictures and prices. Read more
