From the back of the book: “As you start a Christmas collection, this book will give you all the help you need in distinguishing true collectibles from recent reproductions. Chapters on ornaments made of glass, paper, and cotton batting, plus light bulbs, Santa figures, and printed materials, all offer sound collecting advice, complete with current price ranges. With the help of close to three hundred photographs, you’ll soon be able to identify valuable pieces- some of which may be sitting in your attic right now!”
