4 comments about Warman's Red Wing Pottery: Identification and Price Guide.

1. This guide has a little bit of information about all areas of Red Wing pottery. Unfortunately, it tries to do too much and in doing so doesn't do justice to any of the subjects. I believe new collectors will be confused by its organization. The good news is there are already lots of good books available on Red Wing pottery.



2. Excellent examples of the difficult to find items. I thought the photography was excellent! Fair and not inflated prices....Thanks!



3. This is a very comprehensive treatment of all categories of Red Wing production. Rare, seldom reviewed pieces are included. I appreciated not having to refer to an index for prices (they are provided with each listing). Nice photos. Excellent general reference for Red Wing collectors.



4. This book has helped identify Red Wing pottery, each type is in a separate area and the back includes a 'find by number' list.
   There are some items that aren't in this book, but it would help a person get a general idea of what items are worth.

1. A must for anyone interested in Chinese ceramics. Beautifully photographed - a first class publication of quality.

1. An elegant design, the album is an ideal gift choice. But, the manufacturing procedures could have improved.

5 comments about The Sanders Price Guide to Autographs: The World's Leading Autograph Pricing Authority (Sanders Price Guide to Autographs).

1. There are no more precious artifacts in human history then the primary sources dealing in the written word. Historic letters, manuscripts and documents are the cornerstones of civilization and the best "collectible" investment on the market. For all too long the "Autograph" Ephemera field has lacked a true and consistant indicator of signed letters, manuscripts and documents value until this new issue of Sanders Price Guide. When a client calls me and asks what the value is of an autographed document I now refer them to this Price Guide - Period. Hats to Richard Saffro, Jim Smith and the Price Guide Researchers.

2. love the book, love the service, love the convenience. It is an invaluable resource for anyone that might be the least bit interested in purchasing autographs.



3. I have past versions of this excellent reference but this one includes more of the signatures that I have that previously were not included.
   Thanks for expanding your lists.

4. Disappointed that it didn't contain any information on collecting sports stars autographs. Will have to purchase another one for that information



5. I have multiple editions of this book, and I have always enjoyed them. However, after years of collecting autographs, I have come to the conclusion that the prices they list have no basis in reality. They are usually highly inflated. I would guess the prices are what dealers would like to get for their autographs, but I don't think they usually do.

1 comments about Zenith Radio, The Glory Years, 1936-1945: History and Products (Schiffer Book for Collectors).

1. I have to start by saying I have been a collector of antique radios for over 25 years, so this book is right up my alley.
   
   I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Harold Cones at a radio swap meet several years ago, and heard a talk about the research that went into this series of books on Zenith.
   
   Zenith radios are some of the most collectable antique radios. From the radio made famous (and expensive) by the Walton's Television series, to the more common table radios, and the large console radios with the big black dials and funny green "Magic Eye" tubes. This is from an era where worldwide communication was not instantaneous, and television was but a dream.
   
   These authors had the opportunity to go through the archives of the Zenith Radio company prior to its dissolution. Zenith was the last American radio and televison manufacturer. It was eventually purchased by LG Electronics of Hong Kong.
   
   The radios of the mid to late thirties seems to be the culmination of both the woodworking art and the art of hand made electronics. This book focuses on the story behind the company and the people who designed and made the radios.
   
   There are some beautiful photographs of many of the Zenith radios made during this period. Each photograph is accompanied by a rarity value and an estimated value range. The photography is exceptional.
   
   In addition, the book has many reproductions of advertisements of the time, and many other documents that give insight to the company during this ten year period.
   
   One section that I found very interesting was composed of several drawings of possible designs for radios that were never made. These were provided by the family of the designer (Mr Budlong), and I see these designs from the early 40's look like the designs of the late 50's and early 60's, indicating that he was way ahead of his time.
   
   All in all, this is a great book for anyone who has ever had or still has a Zenith radio, or is just interested in the story of a great American company that has since faded into history.

2 comments about Home Sweet Home: The House in American Folk Art.

1. I recently bought Home Sweet Home because I am interested in American art and crafts, and it is full of beautiful pieces of art. More importantly, though, I really felt like I was learning about the lives and history of early Americans, through their artwork. Especially in an uncertain time like this, it was somehow touching to get such an intimate view into how early Americans depicted their homes and communities. I'm planning to buy several copies for Christmas presents!



2. If you love your home, you will love this book~ full of homes & houses in the Folk Art way. It is very enjoyable! If you love folk art, this is a must. Enjoy!

5 comments about The eBay Price Guide: What Sells for What (in Every Category!).

1. Although this compilation of items is a good start, it is not so thorough as to eliminate the need to browse e-bay for a more accurate idea of pricing. But, it's a good place to start and a great gift for any e-bay aficionado!



2. Whether you're a frequent Ebay seller or only dabble from time to time, every Ebay seller knows that setting prices is central to gaining a successful bid. The Ebay Price Guide: What Sells For What (In Every Category!) is the first reference to compile an array of items and their selling prices, from rare books to video games and jewelry. While it can't possibly hold every item ever listed, it does compile the most popular collectibles, and comes form an online auctioneer whose expertise covers some of the most trafficked Ebay categories. Each category's average sales price is listed along with high and average prices. Introductions to each section include risk assessments, tips on discounting, locating items on other venues, and more. It's a 'bible' no avid Ebay seller or buyer should be without.



3. I mainly use this book for inspiration as a quick reference point for what things are worth. When I take this book into someone's house and quote off some prices...I get allot of happy screams of joy.
   
   Get this book....and get happy
   
   This is one of my favorite ebay books, just love it. A must for anyone who lives and breathes ebay 24/7



4. Handy guide to eBay prices, with useful introductions to product categories to give you a good grounding. Keep a copy in your car when searching for inventory at yard-sales and auctions.



5. I was a little bit disappointed in this book. It did not have in it what I was looking for. I guess it was a bit much of me to think that this book would be all inclusive of every item listed on eBay.
