For the past 28 years this chunky fact-filled book has established itself as the bible of antique collectors and dealers. Well-thumbed copies are to be found in the glove compartments and the reference shelves of enthusiasts and professionals in both the UK and overseas. A new edition of the guide is issued annually. In-depth information about each shop includes not only the address and phone number, but also the date established, opening hours, type of stock and price range, details of location, where to park, the name of the proprietor, and membership of trade associations. The Guide also contains information on auctioneers, packers and shippers, a specialist dealers' index as well as a section on services to the antiques trade.
