Product Description

Miller’s Collector’s Guides is a series of books aimed at providing an essential introduction to varied and popular subjects for the budding collector. Reflecting the growing trend in the antiques market towards "collectibles" (small, often affordable items) these practical guides are filled with ideas on how to form a collection, what to specialize in, and how to identify objects. Often showing specially photographed items, these are guides no collector can afford to be without.

1.0 out of 5 stars Miller`s Postcards:A Collector`s Guide., August 17, 2002
By terry dickens (Exeter/UK) - See all my reviews
I personally found this book sketchy and superficial.Unless you are for example a general dealer who just wanted a few basic guidelines about a subject you previously knew nothing about then please avoid like the plague...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner's guide, April 12, 2002
By Brian S Lingard (Shrewsbury, MA United States) - See all my reviews
For someone considering getting into postcard collecting and hasn't decided on a specialty yet, this guide is a great overview
of what postcard collecting is all about. The guide also has limited information on postcard values. These days you can
find out most of this information on the web. Certainly the experienced collector will need to look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice pictures, but lacking information, August 28, 2003

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This short book does a fair job of picturing the breadth of post cards: from an Austrian 1897 card to a 1990's Barbie card. There are many categories introduced, with some great pictures, but I would have appreciated more information, such as how to buy cards on EBay, or how to send cards. The "Where to buy" section has no dealers in the United States. The US post card history is sparse, particularly in dating cards; for example it doesn't include dates for divided backs (1907). Some basic definitions such as "linen" aren't presented.
