"Antiques Roadshow" 2

Aiming to capture the atmosphere of BBC Television's "Antiques Roadshow", this book features items from the 1992 series. Each chapter has an introduction by the programme's relevant expert, containing anecdotes from the series, background information, a guide to the particular field, and reviews of antiques and collectables covering a wide range of values. Also included is advice on spotting fakes and hunting out real bargains, and each item discussed is illustrated in colour, with a caption indicating its date, size and auction value, together with details about its history and maker.
