Books for Christmas Ornament Collectors

Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to talk a little bit about books which I feel are real good source of reference when you start to collect, they show you a enormous range of shapes, colors, the age, the condition so they give you a really good base to work on when you start to collect this things. Because Christmas ornaments can be very pricey and a lot of people a lot of people just don't understand or not taking the time to look and see how much these ornaments are really worth. So it is worth your while to look at a few reference book before you start your collection or if you want to find out the value of what you do have. So one of my favorite books is Christmas to the Decades this is a great book by Robert Brenner if you it is a very expensive book you may not want to actually want to buy this book I think it ranges in the 40-$60 range but you might be able to access this book in your local library. If you get a chance to look through it, it is a wonderful book so I highly recommend this one. There is a lot of other books that you can get out of print some of my favorite books are these small little books this is Glass Christmas Ornaments Old and New and this is out of print but if you look for it on line you might be able to find it another good book. Some other books I like and you can get You Can Get Christmas Lights and Decorations this is by George Johnson this is a really good book. Here is another good book by Robert Brenner which is another good book Christmas Past. There is a variety there is a large selection of books out there to reference in, it is really helpful when you really want to try to narrow it down on what your collection would be."
