The shape of the trade changes annually: new faces appear, old ones disappear. For a small annual investment, you can be confident More...that you have the most up-to-date guide available and plan buying trips with confidence. Of the 7,000 establishments listed, well over half the entries change from one year to the next; over 1,000 dealers will open or close. The Guide is easy to use. Information is arranged by area: London is divided by postal districts and the rest of the country is split alphabetically into counties, then into towns or villages. In-depth information about each shop includes the address and telephone number, date established, opening hours, type of stock and price range, details of location, where to park, name of proprietor and membership in trade associations. It also contains information on auctioneers, packers and shippers, a specialist dealers' index and services to the antiques trade. An indispensable directory for the antiques business, and for the truly dedicated antique buyer - the one book to keep on hand.
