Reader Reviews
As with all the other Antique Trader (AT) reference guides I've used, this one is a good, basic primer for the subject. Unfortunately, as with all AT guides, the lack of an index makes it tedious to search for specific items. It also tends, like all the other general AT guides, to attempt to include too many categories at the expense of including an adequate sample of items within each category. However, if this book happens to have just the item you're looking for, the photos and descriptions are well-done and the prices are reasonably accurate. Basically, it's a good general guide for someone who is attempting to gauge the general value of advertising items, but don't buy it with the express hope of finding a specific item.
