by Judith Miller (Author)

Synopsis

This insider's guide is a clear, user-friendly way of getting real value for money, whether you're looking to spot a bargain at auction, or 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 about a particular teddy bear, a Susie Cooper tea pot, or a movie poster, you'll find a vast array of kitsch and classic memorablia grouped alphabetically. Also included are Judith's predictions on what's hot for the future. Hints on where and what to buy and sell, as well as tips on what makes some items so desirable, should make this guide useful to serious collector and bargain-hunter alike.

Media Reviews
You would be surprised at what is classed as a collectable today: scent bottles, soap tins, film posters and autographs, toys, corkscrews and picnic sets. Renowned expert Judith Miller along with Dorling Kindersley present a handy, full-colour catalogue of today's collectables. Accompanied by a short description, date and price, each section also includes a short guide of what to look out for, brief biographies of designers and where to find out more. From modern first edition books to 1950s cookware, 1970s platforms to Art Deco ceramics, you are sure to spot something recognisable from your parents' or grandparents' homes. And ending on a look at today's future collectables, it gives a good clue as to what to hang on to now rather than chucking out or taking it to the charity shop. - Lucy Watson
