Peter Muldavin
Collector Books, 2006
AN AMAZING BOOK!
One of the fondest memories I have from my youth is that old, suitcase style record player where I would play records for hours. I used to have a lot of old kids records and would dearly LOVE to still have them. My favorite was an Batman LP from the 60's that came a comic that retold Batman's origin. Collector Books is always ahead of the pack when it comes to publishing great niche books, and ...

Fenton Art Glass Patterns 1939-1980: Identification & Value Guide13 reviews
Margaret Whitmyer, Kenn Whitmyer
Collector Books, 2004
Excellent photos, information - Would buy again!
I have been collecting Fenton for several years and finally got tired of checking this book out at my library, so I bought it. The photos, history and general information are pheomenal! The Whitmyers have outdone themselves with this volume. I have learned SO MUCH reading through this book. It makes me a stronger, better-educated collector. When I go on my cross-country glass shopping trips, ...

Collecting Costume Jewelry 101: The Basics of Starting, Building and Upgrading (Identification & Value Guide)20 reviews
Julia C. Carroll
Collector Books, 2004
Wonderful Vintage Costume Jewelry beginner guide
I actually bought her 2nd book (202) before buying this one (101) and while I treasure my 202 guide much more than this first one (because I'm not a beginner) - I think it is a fabulous book to have for those starting out. With a lot of fake WEISS and other great designers' jewelry being reproduced and sold as the real thing today (especially on eBay), it's a good guide to have that shows a fair ...

Love this Book
I really have enjoyed this book for new and refreshing ideas to create a shabby chic cottage environment. I've always leaned toward Victorian and knew that that wasn't exactly what I wanted. This book has so many wonderful ideas. Anyone who loves vintage and repurposing will love this book.

A Collector's Guide to Ideal Dolls: Identification and Value Guide10 reviews
Judith Izen
Collector Books, 1993
Fabulous & Fascinating
I truly recommend this book, not merely for finding out your Ideal doll's monetary value, but more as a walk down memory lane. Being 56 years old, I remember growing up with many of Ideal's dolls. I especially enjoyed the brief mention of the Snuggles' doll and rocking horse(which many books on dolls leave out). So, if you are tired of reading dribble..., then snuggle up with this pictorial ...

Elegant Glassware of the Depression Era: Identification and Value Guide9 reviews

Collector Books, 2008
Beautiful Book
Orginally purchased for my mother, I purchased it also after looking through it. The original reason for the book was to attempt to id some etched glass, the glass was not in the book, but it was worth it anyway. Beautiful photos, good writing, I saw pieces I had not known exsited. Who knew that such elegant depression glass was out there! I would not recommend it for the "flea market" or "yard ...

Small Dolls of the 40s and 50s by Carol J. Stover
As a longtime doll collector, I have often found 8-inch hard plastic dolls that I could not identify. Some of the dolls were even mint with original clothes. I always passed them by thinking that I would never be able to learn about the companies that made them. This "Small Dolls" book will go a long way to answer these kinds of questions. The author has written a great book with lots of ...

Liddle Kiddles11 reviews
Paris Langford
Collector Books, 1995
Simply fabulous
Ms. Langford has created a truly wonderful collector's book. The identification and information on each Kiddle doll is comprehensive and indispensable for valuation. Visually, it is a delight just to thumb through page after page of colour photos; a walk down memory lane at it's finest. Other 60's dolls with similar appeal are featured as well. Obviously, I can't say enough about this book.
