This book is a great resource to have for both the novice and the professional. It lists the numerous marks and signs, together with tips on all areas of antiquities. This is especially valuable, as most dealers, while quite knowledgeable, tend to specialize in one particular area. This is a concise book that is inexpensive and can easily fit in your pocket. This is particularly helpful when you run across that peculiar silver service with the strange markings and don't have your library of reference books with you. It would be an asset for any glove box as well.

This is very handy for the newer antiquer and even for those that have been around for a bit since one person can't know everything about all things. It fits nicely in one's pocket or purse and with the cover taken off is a nice subtle black so you won't look to obvious as you check;-) The only thing I would like to see more of is pricing but it's not a bad little book for the price and it may save you some money along the way too.
