Daily Telegraph Guide to the Antique Shops of Britain 2001-2002 (30th Edition)
by Carol Adams (9781851493777)

For the past thrity years this chunky, fact-filled book has established itself as the bible of antique collectors and dealers, the indispensable source of addresses, telephone numbers, maps, and specialty indexes. Well-thumbed copies are to be found in car glove compartments and on the reference shelves of antiques enthusiasts and professionals both in this country and abroad. We are delighted that The Daily Telegraph has given recognition to the Guide's importance and established position in the marketplace by having its name associated with the title for a third year. A new edition is issued each year. By its very nature the antiques trade is in a state of constant change: new shops open, old ones close, and dealers move. Every year there are changes to over half the 7,000 establishments listed and as many as 1,000 dealers open or close. Because the Guide has been produced by the same long-standing and dedicated team of editors and researchers, it is uniquely placed for accuracy. As a saver of time and wasted journeys the up-to-date edition is essential equipment for anyone connected with the world of antiques, be they buyer, seller or supplier of allied services. The Guide is easy to use. Information is arranged by area. London is divided into postal districts while the rest of the country is split alphabetically into counties then towns or villages. In-depth information about each shop includes not only the address and telephone number, but also the date established, opening hours, type of stock and price range, details of location, where to park, name of proprietor and membership of trade associations. The Guide also contains information on auctioneers, packers and shippers, aspecialist dealers' index as well as a section on services to the antiques trade. Rival guides regularly come and go. The Daily Telegraph Guide is here to stay.
