Antiques Source Book 2003-2004 (Antiques Source Book)

Product Description
Martin Miller is a legend in antiques publishing. In 2000, the man who started Miller's Antiques Price Guide and co-founded the Lyle Antiques Review brought you his best idea yet: a full-color illustrated guide to antiques prices, based on retail outlets. Following the success of the first three editions of this groundbreaking guide, this year's edition continues the high quality, full-color standard of the first book. Retail prices are a better indication of actual value than the wild variations in price which can be a feature of auction sales, and, in handy paperback format, this is the perfect companion for your antiques hunts, as well as an excellent reference source for identifying and valuing your own antiques. Including extensive entries for collectables - the increasingly popular 'antiques of the future' - and a guide to importing antiques to the USA, the Antiques Source Book contains everything you need to know about buying.

Art for All: How to Buy Fine Art for Under $300

From Library Journal
Because unscrupulous sales practices can occur just as commonly in an art gallery as in a used car showroom, Bamberger compares the purchase of art works to buying an automobile. Skillfully cutting through the double-talk and hard sell of today's art merchants, he encourages consumers to equip themselves by asking questions and learning the jargon of the trade before they buy. The author then reveals how to seek out the right information from libraries and art museums and gives tips for acquiring art from budget sources such as commercial art or architectural firms. Bamberger goes too far, however, when he declares that plates from books and periodicals would be attractive when framed and that pieces of driftwood and rusted metal make great substitutes for fine paintings. For public libraries.
