You would get a hernia trying to carry this around to antique malls. This book weighs at least 5 lbs.
It is well laid out with a section on how to use the book. Most of the pictures are black and white with specially designated sections called "Colour Review". There is a period and style chart, and lots of a-d-v-e-r-t-i-s-e-m-e-n-ts with phone numbers. Various disciplines are covered; some are Irish antiques, carousel animals, Poole pottery, majolica, ceramics, and French provincial furniture.
I actually obtained it for the section on the glass. There are several good descriptions and trademark displays. It mostly targets 18th and 19th-century glass. I would like it more if this book had described production methods. However, it does cover what it promised: "Prices" of the time it was published.
Its wonderful.
