Dear Lee,

At last. After years of work and research, our new book, Kovels’ American Collectibles, 1900-2000, is finally in bookstores. It is the only book we know of that is about the collectibles of the 20th century-Eames chairs, Barbie dolls, Roseville pottery and even can labels-that are wanted by collectors. And we had to tell you about it. Do you want to learn more about your collection-the history, the makers, the values? There are over 450 color photographs of collectibles worth anywhere from a few dollars to a few million. We show some of the very best, so you can compare your pieces to the ones pictured.

This book is not like most of our books. Some information in it came directly from the living artists who made the pieces, some from the memories of our friends. Stories about how World War II changed the way we entertain and the type of dishes we use intrigued us, so we included these stories because they’re clues to dating collectibles. As always, there are lists of makers, dates, marks, styles and other “collector” information. So if you collect art pottery, Depression glass, contemporary art glass, toys, lamps, costume jewelry, photographs, advertising, furniture, tiles or kitchenware, you will find it in Kovels’ American Collectibles, 1900-2000. Get up-to-date information and an entertaining education about your kind of collecting.

Order now and as a special gift to you, our readers, we are including a free list of prices for pieces pictured in the book.

P.S. This is a brand new book, the companion to Kovels’ American Antiques, 1750-1900. Both are available at bookstores and on our website, Kovels.com/store.
