Product Description
The bible book of buttons is back in an updated and revised sixth edition. This is the best introduction to the world of buttons that has ever been written. Over 3,000 buttons, covering all periods, materials, and manufacturers, are pictured and identified, along with newly revised current market values for each button. Although comprehensive in scope, the book is never intimidating. Its encyclopedic format enables information to be quickly and easily found. Current market values make it the best guide to the market. This is the one book that experienced collectors have long considered indispensable, that new collectors must have.

Customer Reviews
Good illustrations
I like this book as there are many illustrations and after reading the book I had a deeper understanding of buttons. This is an informative book and I would encourage those who are interested in collecting buttons and those advance collecters to read it. Another book similiar to it and I would reccommend is Antique & Collectible Buttons : Identification and Values.

Straightforward, highly accessible writing and enhanced black-and-white photographs, The Collector's Encyclopedia Of Buttons is a one-of-a-kind resource for professional dealers and dedicated collectors.
color photos
It would have been great if the photos were in color, this is something that makes looking and finding the buttons so much easier. Having color photos adds a lot.
