With over 5,000 color photographs and 5,000 price ranges, Millers Antiques Handbook & Price Guide remains among the essential and trusted guides to the antiques market. It has earned the reputation of being the book that no dealer, collector or auctioneer should be without. Compiled by Judith Miller, antiques expert and co-founder of the book, the guide features more than 8,000 antiques. The price ranges are based on actual prices, giving the user a ballpark figure of what they should pay for a similar item. Comprehensive sections cover Ceramics, Asian Antiques, Furniture, Glass, Silver and Metalwares, Jewelry and objets de vertu, Clocks and Watches, Books, Textiles, Toys, Decorative Arts and Modern Classics. Special features explain why one piece is worth more than another, show how to value an item and teach readers to be their own valuer. Biographies of designers and factories give the background information needed to help date and value objects, while special Judith Picks sections give fascinating background and valuation details for particularly interesting or unusual objects. The hardcover retails for $47.99, distributed by Hachette Book Group. To contact Liz Hermann at Octopus Publishing, email Liz.Hermann@octopusbooks.com.
