Antiques Research Guide Bookstore

My favorite books, books that we use to research our own items! Whatever it is that you are researching, there is almost certainly a book that specializes in it.

Please check out our antiques and collectibles books store for the latest in antiques and collectibles guides and reference books.

General Antiques

Miller's Antiques Price Guide 2009 30th Edition - The latest version of this handy carry along style guide, a bit larger this year but still great for taking along with you to garage sales and the like. You can still get the 2008 version that is smaller and easier to carry with you. Highly recommended!
