Books : Complete Price Guide to Watches 2008 (Complete Price Guide to Watches)In association with Amazon.comRating:  - The only game in townThe pictures are small black and whites, so bad they almost look drawn. The prices are inline with what 'SELLERS' would pay for a watch. The definitive guide to watches. Not very good, but where else are you gonna get this info. Rating:  - WatchesThis is a very complete guide to watches, has excellent explantions within which is very helpful in understanding watches over the last 4 centuries. Good illustrations, nice layout which is fairly easy to follow. There is a lot of information on US watches and a light overview on watches manufactured in other countries. This is a great book for anyone interested in collecting or restoring watches, actually it is a must. Rating: - THE Price Guide.....Once again, Mr. Shugart and the team have published the definitive work on timepieces, both unique and mundane. Along with current pricing criteria, the book is a wealth of valuable information on all aspects of timepiece collecting, and the opening pages make very worthwhile reading. I heartlly recommend this to anyone with a love of precision timepieces, old and new. Rating: - An old standby continues moving alongThis used to be considered the bible of pricing of vintage watches - it is a tremendous piece of work - however many models are missing and prices need updating as the economy has changed very much in a few short years. However for the beginner there is no better book to learn and have a handy reference to save money and not lose it when buying an old watch Rating: - Pocket WatchesThe book is not perfect, but it is a great bargain for the money. It is reasonably easy to use and yet detailed in the descriptions and explanations. I was able to pick out my watches and establish a value very quickly. I used it for all my eBay purchases. I do recommend this book as a great reference for pocket watches. |
