The
Antiques Almanac
grew out of a need for quality information
about antiques collecting for beginning and intermediate collectors.
Antiques and collectibles dealers are also welcome to browse the
articles and such on this site, but the main purpose is to correctly
inform those who have just gotten bitten by the “antique bug.” Once
bitten by this pleasant creature, nothing–no bug repellent or 12-step
program–will prevent the antiques collector from collecting–and
collecting and collecting.
Please look around and come back often.

No antiques or collectibles are sold on this Web
site. Here,
collectors hungry for knowledge about antiquing will find quality
content–news, feature articles, tips, offbeat tidbits, book reviews,
and more. It’s the goal of Bob Brooke, antiques writer and editor of
this site, to make The Antiques Almanac one of the leading antiques
content sites on the Web.
