<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4335531, member: 6444&quot;]Even books can become overwhelming, as any book collector can attest. Of the ones you showed, I would consider the last two to be worth keeping and occasionally referring to. The Antique Hunters Guide is one of a set that I own; it is worthwhile especially if it is something you don&#039;t specialize in. I refer to the American Pottery and Porcelain book in the series when starting to research a new unmarked piece, for example it has good introductory info on stoneware. I ignore the prices which are in the books, but the information and pics are still valuable. The last book on Needlework would be useful to me for the same reason - outline with details of something I don&#039;t know about useful as a first reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got rid of any of my books that were general antique price guides, like the first three you show; these cover too broad a range of items to give any research help, and prices are useless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
