Description: Setting new standards in visual reference, this is a must-have for anyone interested in buying or selling collectables. 

This indispensable insider's guide is the clearest, most user-friendly way to getting real value for money — whether you're looking to spot a good buy in a shop, at a fair, or in an auction — or you want to find out how much that old radio in the attic is worth. 

Each item is clearly photographed in colour, displaying the latest carefully verified price, identifying marks, size, historical details and date, in order to aid accurate recognition. Whether you want to find out more about a particular teddy bear, a Susie Cooper tea set or a movie poster, you'll find a vast array of kitsch and classic collectables grouped alphabetically. Objects of particular note are enlarged so that the key details can be highlighted. Also included are profiles on influential designers, and Judith's predictions on what's hot for the future. 

Hints on where and how to buy and sell, as well as tips on what makes some items so desirable will prove invaluable to serious collector and bargain-hunter alike. 

Packed with practical advice, this price guide by acclaimed expert Judith Miller makes valuing collectables fast and simple.
