FREE: Antiques Roadshow Primer by Workman Publishing

The listing, Antiques Roadshow Primer by Workman Publishing has ended.

This is a brand new, hardcover book.

Part adventure, part history lesson, and part treasure hunt, Antiques Roadshow, PBS's hit series, shares its passion and expertise in a jam-packed, thoroughly illustrated introduction to antiques and collectibles.

What does "EPNS" mean on a piece of silver? How can furniture be judged by its hardware? Why touch diamond jewelry to your upper lip? How can a Peale be identified by the subject's eyelids? The primer introduces all the essentials: style, period, provenance, pattern, rarity, motifs, maker's marks--plus a running feature called "Old News," listing items that people love to collect but that are just too common to be of value. What waiting to be found in your attic?

I am asking a large GIN because the book is so big and heavy.
