Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-12 00:00:00 Jule Rodrigo I have read many of the miller's guides over the years and gained a great deal of knowledge from them. A must for collectors and you never know you might have something of value gathering dust. Recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-04-23 00:00:00 Charles Mcgilvray This isn't a book that you read cover to cover--it's more of a reference book for antique dealers and buyers. I'm not an antique dealer or buyer, but I really enjoyed looking through it from a purely artistic perspective. It's kind of like a museum collection guide with prices. It was interesting to see the range of antiques available--from porcelain, to autographs, to music instruments, to decorative arts, to jewelry, to antiquities--and to learn more about different artisans, historic periods, why certain pieces are more valuable than others, etc. My favorite antique in the guide was a beautiful late 19th-century Dresden porcelain plaque with a Dutch-style 16th-century town scene of a wealthy mother and daughter giving charity to a poor mother and infant. The guide is updated every year with new images and information, and it's something that I think I'll follow from year to year (our library gets a copy every year) because I enjoyed it so much.
