5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for collectors of Antique English Silver, December 23, 2000
By Phillip Pessar (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a must have for anyone who collects antique English silver. Not as comprehensive as a lot of others I have seen which is actually a plus since it fits comfortably in your pocket when you go antiquing. I keep my copy next to my computer so I have it handy while surfing the silver listings on eBay. Well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensible!, October 14, 2007
By Sue (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This book is great for identifying English and British hallmarks. Has a little bit on other European hallmarks which is very useful. It's a small size, so you can easily put it in your purse when going antiqueing (sp?). I'd definently recommend this to anyone seriously interested in silver.

5.0 out of 5 stars A first rate pocket book, November 26, 2006
By Bluestocking (Pinecone Cottage, California) - See all my reviews
This little book delivers the goods ~ well-organized marks for the English silver sleuth. Also has a credible selection of silver styles thrown in as a little bonus.
