Let Ralph and Terry Kovel give you the insider's edge when you are buying, selling, and collecting. InKovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List 2007, 39th edition, you will find over 45,000 actual... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Any book listing price ranges is out of date before it hits the stores; however, if you collect, buy, or sell any sort of antique or collectible, this should be on your shelf. I didn't give it a full 5 stars because it lacks so much -- it seems that every time I look up a category, I have to look in several places and then find only something similar, not exactly the same. The book is large, so it would have to be a lot, lot larger to include everything, of course. But it is frustrating, and I wonder how they select which prices to list. However, if they've gone through 39 editions (or more, by now), I guess the Kovels know what they are doing. These are the same people who write a syndicated newspaper column.

This is and has been a standard in the antiques price guide field for years. While not as exciting a format as Schroeder's or Antique Trader's Guides, Kovels' is a basic value guide useful to compare prices found in other guides. Also, Kovel's lists some popular collectibles not easily found elsewhere.

Bought this book for my wife who is into "junk." As anyone in the collecting business already knows, Kovels' is the bible. I am sure my wife will get a few years of enjoyment from this publication.

This book keeps antiquers up to date with the latest in hot finds. My step-father uses it as a guide to what to look for when he scouts the local auctions.

I been getting this book for over 25 years. You think they change it by now. This is a guide and not a real measure of value. But it give you a start point to work with. I prefer actual sale listing. But if you looking for something right away. This is the perfect guide for you.
