 Best tool guide so far but still hoping for something better |
| Review Date: May 26, 2008 |
| Reviewer: G. Garb, Silicon Valley, CA |
This is an excellent book for collectors and just folks who like tools. Like the others mentioned I only wish it was indexed or set up so that a person could look up a specific tool. It is still the best I have seen and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about tools and looking at the excellent photos.
It does not tell you much about the history or application of the tools. There are other books that do this. This author/editor has written a book that is for those of us who already know something about tools. |

| We collect ancient and antique tools and neither of us can believe these prices. It's all about market and location however. Great book for library as comparison and guide. |
A fabulous reference book

The third updated edition of Antique Trader Tools Price Guide is a fine survey blending some 700 color photos with actual prices received at auctions with over 2,000 listings of tools ranging from braces and saws to levels, gauges, and more. Details on market trends, investing, and building a collection make this a key collector's choice.
