Need more puctures

Excelent to review but need more pictures about products and most clearly explanation about the prices right.

A useful book.

This, like lots of antique price lists, can make anyone a little nuts to use. As has been noted by others, 80% of the time what you want will not be in the book and then if it is, chances are that your items condition will be different that the one the book lists a price for. That said, these books can be helpful as a reference and give you kind of a "good idea" what different types of items go for. This book, like most general antique price lists is a little weak in the area of antique tools (one of my areas of interst) but this should not be much of a problem for most. Kovels' book is as good as any of the general interest price lists out there and worth having around.

Here is why you should check this book out!

This is the first book I had seen by the Kovels and I am totally impressed!It is just as it says-a listing of items and their estimated values!It does contain some helpful hints and small black and white photos through out (of some items).If you are looking for a photo guide-this is NOT it(I wasn't).Otherwise it is VERY informative.It also contains some background information about the companies (ie-Tiffany's,etc).Overall a great book and great authors!

Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List 2002

If you're at all interested in antiques, this all-new version of the Kovels book is for you. I was attracted to the Kovels books years ago, but lately had stopped buying them. That was foolish because I'm a collector and NOT having a current guide probably meant I paid more for some things than I should have. I was attracted back to the Kovels while watching their very informative -- and funny -- TV show on Home and Garden Television. The show reminded me that I hadn't bought a guide for a few years, so I ordered one and started using it immediately. In a word, the Kovels new, updated, easy-to-use guide is indespensible!
