Customer Reviews

Wonderful button book

Waited a bit for this book, but so worth the wait. Good pictures, & price guide very handy even though some have just gone up again.

Antique & Collectable Buttons: Identification and Values

Very nice book and in very good condition. Arrived as stated by Seller. The delay in arrival was not the fault of the Seller, the Post Office misplaced it.

Antique & Collectible Buttons Identification and Values

Very informative and educational. The pictures are a little small but the magnifying glass seems to be an accessory that you would use regardless. Recommended for any button beginner or collector.

antique & collectible Buttons Identification & Values

In only 167 pages, this book has made a successful collector out of me. It has numerous illustrations, all in color; an orderly method of describing types of buttons and their history; tips on cleaning and displaying them; and addresses of publications, suppliers, and clubs for collectors. Although it is crisply informative, the book also conveys the pleasant, upbeat personality of the writer. You get the impression that button collectors are ever so friendly and interesting. Although for deeper study, one might go for more of an encyclopedia, this is an excellent book with which to begin. Many might never feel the need to go further.
