Easy to follow, fully illustrated and small enough to carry about with you. If you enjoy collecting silver this will really help you to understand what you are looking at and importantly it's value as well as how to spot fakes.

Silver Info

I find a lot of not really useful info about silver on line. And I have a small collection of books that mostly deal with the marks on silver, but this book is a really good survey of all the kinds of pieces that are out there if you're just an ordinary person who goes to sales and thrift shops and auctions.
