This book offers lots of good pictures , Making finding antiques a lot easier, Unfortunatley the picture all seem to be those objects in excellent condition. It features alot more down to earth things that you could find at bootfairs & charity shops. I still think some of the value prices are way over the top. And items would only fetch this kind of money if in excellent condition. The down side of this book is it is far to big to carry out & about. But it does give a good idea of what to buy & what not to buy

As with all Miller's books, it is worth having a copy of this book as the vast information contained about all antiques is invaluable, giving the item's picture, details, marks, backstamps, etc. as obviously the prices are only a guide to value. A good way to build up a diverse library on collectable and valuable items.

Pretty pictures, but not much helpful advice
19 Jun 2003
By Susan Mayfield
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book has hundreds of very impressive photos of specific items, noting their defects, markings, and value. However, unless you happened to run across the exact same item, the information is next to useless. While it is interesting to see an unusual art deco lamp, I'd be more interested in meatier topics, such as (1) how prevalent is art deco?; how hard to find?; (2) what should you be looking for in an art deco piece?; (3) what are the trends? Is this passe? Up-and-coming? Likewise depression glass, Shaker furniture, Americana, and old toys. Instead of a pretty coffee table book, I'd appreciate the value of the author's experienced guidance much more

As usual Judith Miller has outdone herself with this antique furniture book. It is filled with a wealth of information. Pictures are very clear and visually stimulating.
