Olszewski miniatures are also included A great value

5 out of 5 stars Price Guide M. I. Hummel Figurines.......2007-03-25

Fabulous experience. This book is in excellent condition and it was shipped very quickly! Thanks for an awesome transaction!

5 out of 5 stars Hummel Guide Book.......2007-02-20

Excellent guide book now with its 10th edition in color. Photos are large and clear with short histories of each Hummel displayed; the Hummels are listed in numerical order. There is also an index in alphabetical order giving the Hummel's correct mold number that a person can refer to as well. Hummel Club pieces are listed towards the back of the book and interspersed with the regular Hummels according to their mold numbers. A terrific book for anyone who collects anything be it Hummel figurines, bells or plates.

2 out of 5 stars No. 1 Price Guide to M.I.Hummel Figurines.......2007-02-13

When I started using the Book the pages started to fall out. I think the quality is not there any more. I have an old Book which lasted me for years & this Book I used for maybe 1-2 weeks and is falling apart. To me things do not last anymore & everything is made cheap plus the prices are getting higher & quality lower.

5 out of 5 stars Umbrella Girl Silk Carpet.......2005-03-25

I have one and will give you information on the Hummel Silk Carpet.(The Book lacks this information)
On the back is a tag stitched to it saying:

M.J. Hummel
ORIGINAL HUMMEL SILK CARPET
HANDKNOTTED IN BEIJING, CHINA.

ARS AG, ZUG, SWITZERLAND

LIMITED EDITION :10 /50

Also there is a tag attached to the SILK CARPET written in both Chinese and English
ZHE JIANG SILK RUG

I am giving this information because the book does not have a picture of this HUMMEL SILK CARPET and not sure about the information I just posted.
VALUE UNKNOWN but it is Very Beautiful

5 out of 5 stars Most Precise and Knowledgeable Hummel BIBLE on the Market.......2003-11-29

I have all, since the first publication, of Robert Miller's Price Guide to MI Hummel Figurines, Plates, Miniatures and More.
Mr. Miller has all the knowledge one would expect & want to find in his books after much research and many trips to Germany to gain this knowledge. This is THE HUMMEL BIBLE! I highly recommend this book to all Hummel collectors or to anyone interested in the collecting of fine arts. Very well written with explicit details about Sister MI Hummel's life in Massing, Germany & her schooling. Each known Hummel is pictured & tells of the Master Artist who molded each three dimentional figurine from the drawings by Sister beginning in the 1930's to the present TMK markings. A great investment for Insurance purposes when appraising your figurines by The Hummelking!

5 out of 5 stars Hummels are Great!.......2002-03-03

This book is very well illustrated, well layed-out, easy to use, and the pictures are very beautiful. It's full of information, explains more than I expected, and it is a MUST for Hummel collectors.

5 out of 5 stars Great resource.......2001-10-11

not only is this a complete guide -- but it is so easy to use -- anyone owning or buying Hummel's should have this -- I only wish I could find Guides like this for my other collectables --

5 out of 5 stars Excellent for Amateurs.......2001-09-25

Even though it's proclaimed by expert collectors as the absolute source of information about Hummel figurines, Robert Miller's reference work is easy for amateurs as well. He provides insightful guidance in determining value and quality as well as interesting tidbits about production and variations in the figurines. His work is referenced by many sellers in internet auctions, but is also helpful in figuring out just what you already have. As a rank beginner, I had no problem in following his material and ascertaining the value of an inherited collection. It was also useful in helping me determine additions that I wanted to make to the collection.

3 out of 5 stars Not what I expected........2007-06-09

The guide has a lot of pictures and very little in description of the items. Nothing on the era that I was looking for. Wish I had gone to the bookstore and looked at it first.

2 out of 5 stars Antiques to few........2007-05-13

I was disappointed with this book, it doesn't show different examples of the same company. Too many item from other parts of the world, not enough from the USA... This book is more of a picture guide. Not enough detail. I'm not impressed.

It helped me alot. I now have an idea of what some of my items are worth.

5 out of 5 stars I Love This Book !!!.......2005-02-17

I collect a few things including political memorobilia, silver electric plate, books and ceramics. I bought it to a) make sure I don't overpay in my areas of interest b) to identify anything I could buy and sell on at a profit.

It paid for itself almost instantly - I had no idea digital watches from the 1970's were collectible!! Glad I am a horder.

Great illustrations, interesting and fun to flick through. Good for anyone who loves garage sells or ebay. And anyone who makes a living in this area.

5 out of 5 stars A helpful, easy-to-use, collectibles guide.......2003-03-18

This valuable resource guide not only offers pricing information, but 'closer look' background and history on many, many items. I was able to use this book to take stock of items I currently have and become more knowledgeable about designers and collections I had not yet discovered. The information is concise and readable; the visuals are beautifully done. A big bonus at the end includes a directory of auctioneers, clubs and societies, and, my particular favorite --Internet resources. I've learned a lot from this book and refer to it often. All in all, a very accesible, enjoyable book.

This book ia a great addition for your antique price guide and references. Wonderful color pictures and easy to read prices. Highly recommended!

4 out of 5 stars Good but not the best .............2004-12-08

This is a comprehensive, well illustrated guide. Like all guides of this sort, it can't cover everything. If you have a particular interest in a specific field then this book will not work for you (e.g. if you collect Silver E.P. from the 30's this book covers off on one manufacturer well). If you want a general price guide, can draw inferences from items of a similar age, quality, style and market this book helps.

In both style and content it is similar to Miller's: Antiques Price Guide 2005 by Elizabeth Norfolk. I think Norfolk's book has a definate edge; although it is a little more expensive.

Neither book is a "how to appraise" guide - they don't claim to be. Neither are they completely comprehensive - they couldn't be. They are illustrative guides of current market prices. If you are buying for this purpose you wont be dissapointed with either.






3 out of 5 stars Pretty pictures, but not much helpful advice.......2003-06-19

This book has hundreds of very impressive photos of specific items, noting their defects, markings, and value. However, unless you happened to run across the exact same item, the information is next to useless. While it is interesting to see an unusual art deco lamp, I'd be more interested in meatier topics, such as (1) how prevalent is art deco?; how hard to find?; (2) what should you be looking for in an art deco piece?; (3) what are the trends? Is this passe? Up-and-coming? Likewise depression glass, Shaker furniture, Americana, and old toys. Instead of a pretty coffee table book, I'd appreciate the value of the author's experienced guidance much more

5 out of 5 stars 36th ed an: easy to use, complete, comic/magazine $guide.......2007-01-28

Best title in its class!
This Title has a very diverse collection of titles and values good for finding the value of an old unheard of comic. There is normally multiple dollar values for each comic edition and its associated grade on a scale of 1-10. All this book needs is some more guide lines on how to price out comics that are signed and have CGC authentication. They do have general rules for determing CGC (professionally graded comics from a new company) comic values but they seem a little off especially when combined with fractional grades.

5 out of 5 stars A REAL WORLD GUIDE FOR REAL COLLECTORS.......2006-12-18

The Comic Book Checklist and Price Guide published by KP Books and the editors of the Comic Buyers Guide continues to be my comic price guide of choice. The 2007 edition is another 832 pages of prices and information from primarily1961 to the present. A more apt description may be from the beginning of the Silver Age to the present as if covers those DC books such as Showcase # 4 which kicked off what we know today as the Silver Age of Comic books.

There are several things I love about this book. First, it can, if you wish, be used as a checklist. Rather than list comics in a run of issues (for example, Avengers 101 - 110) and listing one price for each issue in that run, this book lists each issue number individually with a check box next to it to check off if you own that issue. Hence the reason that it covers only the silver age to the present, otherwise it would be about 2000 pages instead of 800. I like this idea as a quick reference to one's own personal collection. Second, it lists only the near-mint price for each book with a grading guide to figure out prices for lesser condition books. Anyone who's been collecting comics for any length of time can easily do this right off the top of their heads and I've never found it necessary to list three different prices for comics.

Another thing I like is that the book lists the month and year of each issue. This is a small tool that I think people overlook but that I have found to be very useful. But I think what the Comic Book Chcecklist Price Guide doesn't give you is just as important as what it does give you...namely it doesn't give you hundreds of pages of ads like Overstreet does. It also doesn't give you dozens of pages of stale market reports from dealers whose motives are somewhat dubious in what they report in terms of price information. Rather than rely on this `advisor' information this book has garnered real world data from auction services like eBay to provide what I feel is true pricing, black & white data and that's all I really need...not some dealer in Hoboken claiming to have sold book X for seven billion dollars.

If you want a true price guide without all the vacuous fluff then this is the comic book price guide for you!

For 28 years Miller’s™ Antiques Price Guide has been the benchmark for authority and accessibility, acknowledged as the most comprehensive illustrated guide to antiques from all over the world. The tradition continues in the newest version, which features an expert pool of more than 20 named experts from the UK, USA, and elsewhere who have contributed their expertise.

Of special value are the “Miller’s Compares” features where two apparently similar items are analyzed to reveal why one is more valuable than the other.

In addition, Miller’s is positively packed with informative background on price trends, makers to look out for, and historical detail, all presented in a clear, accessible style.

5 out of 5 stars Miller's Antiques Price Guide 2007.......2007-01-04

I have every issue of this guide series. Some from the original British publish. There are two Miller guides this is the original and but has an international feel mostly. It mainly English and Eurpoean if you get the English version and added more American for the American version. The one selling here is the American verson. This is the most standard antique price guide around. Base on auction listing and dealer asking & sold prices. It a professional guide and Miller has other guides for focus themes.

4 out of 5 stars item's too pricey.......2006-08-07

not a whole lot of item's. More picture's than anything. A lot of the item's in the book I beleive are way to over priced. Not a good book to take to flea market's or auction's.

5 out of 5 stars If you do eBay or collect or go to garage sales PERFECT.......2006-08-01

This book is so easy to use-- great price guide to take along on your antique hunt. A whole list of consultants in various areas of expertise help with this book. It covers everything from Holday Memorabilia to marbles to posters to sports stuff to sewing stuff to Teddy Bears and Toys. Also great section on the weifd and wonderful. Also great list of clubs, societies and organizatins. Space memorabilia, rock and pop, radios, pez dispensers, glass, costume jewelry, ceramics -- almost everything around your grandma's house or you'll see at a garage sale including early computers, comics, and watches. Great pictures -- of almost everything with nice hints as to how to take a closer look at a Coca Cola clock and collector notes. Good range of prices and also explains when it was made and how tall etc so you don't get confused. That old pair of straberry shaped earings are not junk-- they could be worth $70-$100 if they are by Weiss. Even an iPod poster could be worth up to $120.00 That 1940's PINK perfume bottle could be worth a $1000 or more...buy this book and you could get RICH!

Book Description

Meets the rising demand for information about collecting, appraising, buying and selling cameos.

The only book of its kind, Cameos Old & New, 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive reference for anyone interested in cameos, including how to:

Build and care for a cameo collection; develop an eye for quality and an appreciation for cameos as "art"; detect genuine cameos from among synthetics and imitations; "circa date" cameos to differentiate old cameos from new; distinguish ultrasonically-produced cameos from hand-carved pieces; avoid the major pitfall--the purchase of mediocre pieces, fakes, and forgeries; and much, much more.

5 out of 5 stars Everything you always wanted to know about cameos........2005-07-01

If you love cameos and collect them this is a wonderful little book for you. Tells you the history, the types, the reasons for certain styles, how to tell the age, how to tell the value, and all the necessary terminology for discussing them. Good illustrations are also a plus.

5 out of 5 stars More than just your grandmother's brooch.......2004-08-15

When most people think of cameos, they think of the standard woman's profile carved from shell and mounted as a brooch or necklace. But the art of the cameo encompasses far more than that. Historically, it dates back to the ancient world, and over the centuries many materials have been used in making these works of art. Although female heads are probably the most common subject, mythological figures, animals, portraits of individuals, and many other things have found their way onto cameos. The quality can range all the way from cheap mass-produced modern items to fine hand-crafted pieces worthy of any museum.

Anna Miller's "Cameos" is a wonderful introduction to cameos. She covers the history of the form, the subjects normally found and what each one looks like--very useful in an age where few people know their mythology. She describes the different materials that have been used in making cameos--including lava from Mt. Vesuvius, shell, agate, onyx, plastic, and glass. There's an extensive section on how cameos are made and on the people who made (and make) them. One particularly useful discussion describes the differences between traditional hand-carved works and those made by modern ultrasonic machines (vital for any modern buyer). The author also gives information on how to evaluate quality and condition and on market value. The book is illustrated throughout with black and white pictures, and there is an extensive color section in the middle. One of the best things about this book is that the author is able to convey her appreciation of the art of cameos to the reader. "Cameos" is an essential reference for anyone who wants to acquire a knowledge and understanding of this art. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Review by a Cameo carver........2003-12-12

I am one of the small number of portrait cameo carvers on gemstone.

I found this book to be excellent. There is a wealth of detail on all aspects of cameos. There are also good illustrations. There is valuable info for collectors on identifying and valuing Cameos.

Information on how to distinguish Ultrasonic Cameos from the more valuable hand-carved cameos is given.

You will gain a lot of knowledge on how Cameos are made and valued from reading this title.

5 out of 5 stars Great for the beginner.......2003-05-31

This book is extremely useful for anyone new to cameo collecting. There is an extensive history of the cameo, information on famous cameo artists, as well as the different materials used for cameos. It contains a small section on how to date cameos, and how to spot fakes. Overall, a great book for the beginner.

5 out of 5 stars An invaluable resource and reference for cameo buffs........2002-03-24

Now available in an newly updated and expanded second edition, Cameos Old & New by Anna Miller is an informative and authoritative guide featuring a wealth of information on the creation, collection, appraisal, and appreciation of cameo jewelry. Filled with black-and-white photographs as well as an inset section of color plates, Cameos Old & New instructs the reader on how to distinguish cameos produced with ultrasonic technology from hand-carved ones, and how to separate old cameos from recent creations. A superb and comprehensive reference, Cameos Old & New is an invaluable resource and reference for collectors, dealers, curators, and anyone wanting to know more about the cameos in their possession.
