📖 The Scoop

The expertise, clarity, and accessibility that have been hallmarks of the Miller's antiques and collectibles books since 1979 are now applied to an exciting new line of collectors' guides with a decidedly American accent. Each volume of the new Miller's American Insider's Guide series provides readers with all the information needed to recognize, authenticate, date, and value an antique or collectible item. Written by leading experts in their fields, each volume provides a wealth of connoisseur's hints and techniques for assessing condition, avoiding fakes, spotting bargains, and estimating fair value. Each volume offers a primer on the basics of styles, makers, and techniques and a comprehensive Fact File listing items by type or by manufacturer, enabling the reader to recognize, evaluate, and buy a given category of antique or collectible with confidence and success. Special "Color Reviews" focus on specific topics with full-color photographs. Sections on Where to Buy and See, Care and Repair, a bibliography, glossary, and list of websites make the books in this series essential reading for collectors.
