Customer Reviews

Just the info quilt collectors need

This is the kind of informtion I need. Brief history of the type of quilt, things to look for that make one quilt more valuable than another within the design catagory, interesting informative bits and realistic pricing guidelines (at least from what I know first hand). This is the kind of book for which I would like to see periodic updates. One of the best pricing guide books for quilts out there. THe only reason I did not give 5 stars is that I wish it were even larger !

An EXCELLENT book for quilt lovers everywhere!

This is a wonderful book. It shows you a lot of classic quilt styles and compares two excellent versions of each style. All the quilts are priced, and the reasons for the valuation of each quilt are explained with easy-to-understand call-outs. My only regret is that this book hasn't been turned into a series. Whether you're a experienced collector or a newbie, you'll love this book!

Curl Up and Read This!

Enjoyable format allows for either casual perusing or more serious study of quilts, their history, design and value. Good pictures and useful, easy to interpret information. Highly recommend.

American Treasures

If you need a quick way to learn the styles and values of American Quilts, this book is for you. Though I don't agree with the comparison values on some of the quilts, I find that those new to collecting and identifying the quilts in today's market will find this book helpful. This book provides an overview, not a comprehensive study.
