All New 6th  Edition of 
Maloney's Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory 
Now Available

(Frederick, MD – September 1, 2001) – “Whether you want to sell it, find more like it, fix it, or learn more about it, you don’t need to spend a lifetime looking for information - it’s right here at your finger tips!” So says author David J. Maloney as he recently announced the publication of the 6th edition of Maloney’s Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory (Krause Publications, 2001.)

Maloney’s is the key to making connections in the antiques and collectibles marketplace. This massive publication is an invaluable reference for public libraries as well as for professionals such as appraisers, attorneys, lecturers and authors, claims adjusters, repair firms, set designers, estate liquidators, and even for established collectors and dealers who want to expand their contacts.

Maloney’s Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory is the only comprehensive guide to resources in today’s diverse antiques market. With over 23,250 entries in 3,200 categories covering everything from Abraham Lincoln memorabilia to Zeppelins, it has become the leading source of information in the trade. Directory entries contain the name, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and Internet addresses, and descriptive comments for specialty collectors, dealers, experts, periodicals, museums/libraries, reproduction sources, auction services, clubs and societies, repair/restoration/conservation services, manufacturers/distributors/producers, suppliers and sources for parts, matching services for china, crystal, and flatware, and much, much more. Special indexes focus on trained and educated appraisers, professional repair firms, auction houses, and general interest periodicals across the country. 

In addition, there's other valuable information that will put you in touch with replacement sources, researchers, lecturers, authenticators, publicists, transportation firms, seminars, hard-to-find reference books, antique buying trip travel services, book sellers, regional antique shop and flea market guides — literally anyone, everything, and anything associated with the collecting marketplace! Listings include foreign sources as well. There is no charge to be listed in this directory, and inquiries are always welcome.

Harry Rinker, noted lecturer and author, says “If I owned only one book in the antiques and collectibles field, it would be Maloney’s Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory. Knowing the major dealers, collectors, experts, and periodicals is many times more valuable than price information, especially if one wants to sell an object. The cost to acquire an object is always known to the owner. Where to research and sell it often is not. This is a gap David’s book fills... This is a reference that will become your companion for life.”

One look at this venerable tome and you'll understand why it was chosen as one of the "Best Reference Books" by Library Journal magazine. And now with over 11,140 Web addresses and 15,600 E-mail addresses, Maloney's is better than ever!
