"Entertaining and accessible, 'Good, Better, Best' coaches novices and devotees in choosing the highest quality items. It does this by featuring three photographs of a good, better, and best example of hundreds of antiques that, together, show the antiquer exactly how to distinguish the treasure from the not a treasure. Packed with more than two hundred full-color photographs, this ingenious handbook is broad in scope and covers everything from brass doorsteps and porcelain plates to silver napkin rings and coffee tables from America and Europe..."--P.
