The at-a-glance layout of this guide allows collectors to plan their next trip to the United States or Europe around their collecting passion, providing them with the necessary information to find collections on, or related to their enthusiasm.
From the inside cover:
The passion for collecting is well documented, with no object seemingly too humble to be overlooked, from the modest postcard to the milk bottle. Today, this passion - which often verges on the obsessive - is fuelled by the sale of objects on-line and by popular television programmes such as The Antiques Road Show. Many of these accumulations of objects, both past and present, have formed the basis of outstanding public collections, with every conceivable collectible immortalized in museums, libraries and historic institutions.
With the The Essential Guide to Collectibles, collectors will be able, for the first time, to find public collections in both Europe and the USA relating to their particular obsessions. The book is organized by category and covers extra-ordinarily wide range of collectibles - from teddy bears, clocks, coins, corkscrews, guns and rugs to the more unusual, such as, barbed wire and erotic art. It has over 2,000 entries on more than 130 collecting topics drawn from more than 1,200 museums.
