A dog-eared copy of Maloney's sits on top of my desk and I use it all the time. I can't tell you how valuable it's been!
U.S. News & World Report
To track down the quintet of collectors profiled here, U.S. News queried experts and pored through the Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory.
Kipplinger's Personal Finance Magazine
..this book is the industry bible on clubs, newsletters, experts and other resources...
Alan Bamberger, Art Columnist
Maloney's may well be the widest used reference of its kind in the antiques business. Readers can locate information on virtually every type of antique and collectible imaginable. This directory is outstanding and deserves a prominent place in every dealer's and collector's reference library.
Ann McCutchan, Gannett News Service Columnist
Clip and save this column. I mean it. Because if you do you will never have to write to me or this newspaper for advice on antiques again. You will know where to get the information you need in the new book discussed right here...Maloney's Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory...This is the kind of comprehensive resource that collectors, dealers, estate liquidators, and other aficionados and professionals dream about...There's nothing that can't be looked up in this volume...the best one-volume research tool in print.
Booklist
In comparison to Kovel's Guide to Selling Your Antiques and Collectibles...Maloney's directory is much more complete and better organized. This unrivaled resource is easy to use and read and is chock-full of information to aid in the collecting of everything from amusement park items...to watch fobs...and wooden money. Every public library will want to purchase.
Maggie Ramirez, Rainbow Electronic Reviews
This gigantic book is a major resource for finding every piece of information a collector could desire...There is so much in this directory that you will be sure to find your special interest listed with all the information to excite a beginner or an expert.
American Country Collectibles Magazine
If we were forced to get rid of our entire library of price guides and collecting books and keep one volume, it would definitely be this one. Without a doubt, the single most useful resource book we own, an incredible compendium of names, facts and figures on antiques, collectibles and collecting.
The Illustrator Collectors News
This is the BEST reference guide in the known universe! If you don't have it, your not with it!
