About This Item
Prentice Hall Press, 1986. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. First American printing, near fine hardcover shows just a touch of shelf wear and black reminder mark at bottom page edges, in near fine dust jacket (price at flap) showing light shelf wear and tiny closed tear at spine head. 224 pages very nicely illustrated. Still a good looking copy of this instructional on real vs fake that covers 14 different areas of the antiques trade.
