Summary: The Secrets to Affordable Antiques
Review: Frank Loomis knows his stuff. This is the easiest book to follow, the best advice for newcomers to antiquing, and packed with valuable information for everyone who has ever found an interesting article in the attic. Frank has obviously worked very hard to acheive this amazing book. I will now start my collecting with a valuable asset in my back pocket, The Secrets to Affordable Antiques. Ann Brandt, author of Crowfoot Ridge, HarperCollins 1999

Summary: How to Be a Savvy Antiquer
Review: This book does a wonderful job of steering novices as well as "vintage" antique buyers into making well-thought-out purchases. I found the many tips very helpful. Even though I've been in and out of the antique trade world for 20 years, Mr. Loomis's book gave me a number of insights which I had not been aware of. I highly recommend this book to anyone who dapples in the antique world. One of the many strengths in his writing is that it invites even those with limited resources to have a valuable experience when out antiquing.

Summary: Affordable antqiues: less for more
Review: This book was wonderful. I have been antiquing for about 15 years now and wish I had this book when I started. It gives you advice on how to bargin with dealers and how to handle auctions. It also gives you some good advice on how to look for the sleepers at garage sales and also at thrift stores. Very well written. Could hardly put it down! Few pictures and not much detail on marks and how to really tell an orginal from a repoduction. But for some one just getting their feet wet and who only want to spend a few dollars, this book is well worth it.
