 Is It Genuine?
John Bly (Editor)
From the Publisher 
  This is the most informative, and practical guide to the deceptions, fakes, and not-quite-genuine pieces to be found in the antiques trade. Written by some of the world's leading authorities, it has been completely updated and re-designed, and new photographs have been added so it is now in color throughout. Furniture, metalware, pottery and porcelain, glass, clocks, and toys are covered, as well as more specialized areas such as American furniture and silver, scrimshaws, quilts and decoys. The approach is always thoroughly practical, using color illustrations to show buyers what to look for and what to beware of, and how the fake materials and techniques differ from those in the genuine article.

Excerpt quoted from editors:
From Our Editors 
  Not sure how to display your latest discovery? Let this inventive book inspire you with ideas for showing off a variety of flea market finds! Turn a well-worn tray into a useful and interesting decorative piece by adding legs for an instant serving table. Or transform that collection of vintage glass jars and bottles into luxurious vessels for your shampoos and other bath products -- all it takes it a little silver paint for the caps and some fancy-looking labels (samples are provided for photocopying). Projects abound for all your vintage treasures, including linens, collectible tins, ceramics, picture frames, artwork, and even old windows and pieces of luggage.
