Customer Reviews

A good support book for Antiquing.

The title is "The Basic Book of Antiques" you could say "by George" The book describes its self as "A definitive textbook for the beginning collector, covering the entire field of antiques and collectibles and all phases of antiquing for pleasure and investment" well that is a tall order but George Michael gives it a good try. The table of contents gives the best description of the range covered: 1. How to collect and Enjoy Antiques 2. Furniture 3. Glass 4. Ceramics 5. Silver and Pewter 6. Brass, Bronze, Copper, Iron, and Tin 7. Folk Art and Wall Decorations 8. Clocks, Cloths, Paper, and Miscellaneous Collectibles All pictures are black and white.
