Written by world-renowned expert Judith Miller and compiled by ex-Sotheby's specialist, Mark Hill, this 600-page guide is the fourth all-colour specially photographed collectables price guide to be published by Dorling Kindersley. With her 30 years' worth of antiques and collectables experience, Judith Miller advises each reader on how to become a smart and savvy buyer. Each collectable is presented in a catalogue-style layout, with price and size clearly displayed. Historical and contextual notes explain exactly what makes each category so desirable, and special feature boxes on styles, techniques, and cultural phenomena help expand the collector's knowledge by providing a closer look at particular pieces. Whether you want to identify and value items already in your possession or simply get an idea of what the market holds, the volume and diversity of items in Dorling Kindersley's Collectables Price Guide 2006 will bring out the collector in you.
