Anyone read: "Illustrated Guide to Jewelry Appraisal"?

[mausketeer]

by Anna M. Miller, GG, MGA, RMV. - Antiques, Period & Modern. This beautifully illustrated, complete guide to accurate jewelry identification and appraisal provides step-by-step instruction to jewelry identification and dating, reviews the role and responsibilities of the appraiser and describes in detail virtually every style of antique and period jewelry, from Georgian and Victorian to modern, "retro" and ethnic jewelery art.

Does anyone have firsthand knowledge of this book? I ordered it but it''s rather expensive and if it''s no good I can cancel it (long story). Thanks!

Why "read" a book which is "illustrated"?

Seriously though, it sounds interesting, let us know if it is worth the expense...

It’s a wonderful book. As are all of Anna Miller's writings. If more appraisers followed her advice it would be far less of a minefield for either appraisers or consumers. She was a gifted teacher.

The book is in my reference library.

It''s an important work for any appraiser or appraisal enthusiast to own.

Read, learn, and enjoy.

It''s a classic, well worth reading if your interests lie in that area.

It didn''t use to be that expensive. How much is it going for now?
