I purchased this book because I own several quilts that I have picked up over the years and wanted to figure out dates and get an idea of how to go about valuing them. While the title of this book suggests this is a possibility a mere page and a half are devoted to identification, dating, pricing, care and storage. The remainder of the book is a catalogue of their collection and while they own some lovely quilts I was not interested in a coffee table book but rather one that provided some real data.
There are lovely photographs of more than 100 quilts and if you want to browse through a lovely collection, this is a nice book, though there are better for this as well. If you are looking for information on valuing your own quilts, this book will get you no closer.

Love the section on preservation. The photos of fabric patterns is detailed and in color which is handy for dating textiles. The best reference book I have found on textiles.

Examples to go by for comparison shopping. But I agree with another poster - the values are over-inflated, especially for today's market.
