Tools: A Guide For Collectors, by Mark & Jane Rees. 238 Pages. Softbound. Mark and Jane Rees are well known as the Editors of the Third Edition of William Goodman's British Planemakers From 1700. This new revision and expansion of their enormously successful first Edition is an attempt to provide a general guide to the collecting of antique tools. Written from a British perspective, which provides even experienced collectors of American tools with a thorough introduction to the tools produced in England and Scotland, the Rees' draw heavily upon their personal experiences of some thirty years of collecting and share anecdotes of personal experience, analysis of general market trends, advice for the beginner and expert alike, and provide pricing information on tools from the most common to the very rare. This book is thoroughly illustrated with period engravings of hand tools of every sort and it addresses, in a topical analysis of each type of tool, what collectors should look for (and avoid) when considering the purchase of tools of that type. Highly recommended. $28.95 (BK-020)
