A Guide to Collecting Christian and Judaic Religious Artifacts (Collecting Religious Artifacts)

Summary: Is that it?
Review: As a collector of religious items, I was eager to find a book dealing with them. Then I opened this book. It was useless. It appeared to be nothing more than a personal collection display in drab black and white photos with no worthwile information on condition, value, and so on. Religious collecting is often overlooked and needs a good price guide...this one just isn't it!

Summary: This collector's book is a $20 drink coaster.
Review: I've collected rosary beads for years; it is the most commonly asked-for religious collectible in antique stores, as well as holy water fonts & bottles, religious medals/jewelry & church interior items--none of which are properly addressed in this travesty of a collector's book.

Summary: About Time!!
Review: Its about time we religious art collectors get a book on collectibles. I was disappointed it was in black and white, but it was GREAT to finally see such a book exist.

Rating:
Summary: Woefully inadequate
Review: The serious collector should avoid buying this book! It is woefully inadequate! It contains a sprinkling of black and white photographs of very low quality. There is virtually no text of any consequence or semblance of knowledge of the subject matter.

Summary: About Time!!
Review: This book contains NO useful information, offers only grainy black & white photos. The information with each photo is nothing more than a description of the color of each item, very little info on the ages of the pieces. Nothing that would help you identify, date or value a piece.
