Miller’s Buyer’s Guide: Chinese & Japanese Antiques
Another great book by Miller’s containing a lot of good information about Asian antiquities. Many photos, could use more in color.

Encompassing 2000 years of history, and everything from ceramics to furniture to Mao era propaganda, it isn’t a comprehensive guide to any one subject. It isn’t meant to be; nevertheless it serves as a full intro to the field in one portable volume. Several thousand pieces with prices in Brit pounds (most for museum quality specimens, not the more everyday kind). About 70% b&w, though does include some lovely color sections. Still a bargain.

I bought this book to help me discern chinese porcelain and learn a little more about the oriental collectables. This book has too many black and white photos and falls short of being a necessary refrence guide.
