The 40th anniversary issue of this guide (with a new publisher), surely collectible itself, begins by noting record prices of the past year paid for selected antiques and collectibles. Cross-referenced, illustrated entries with price lists and expert tips cover some 700 categories from early American country furniture to "best-dressed boxes, bottles, and cans from the past." Items range from A. Walter furniture to Zsolnay art deco pottery valued at more than $20,000. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
