“As this is the age of collectors, so it is the age of books for their
guidance. Mr. Unwin’s series of books for collectors now includes
twenty-one volumes, and if bargains are missed it is certainly not the
fault of the various writers.”
_The Nation._
HOW TO COLLECT WITH PROFIT
is the keynote of the series. The phenomenal prices realized at auction
sales are obtained by those who have collected wisely. Prices are
still rising, and those who have the knowledge are buying for future
rises. Ask always for and see that you get UNWIN’S “Chats” Series--the
standard popular handbooks on collecting.
THE “CHATS” SERIES IS ON SALE AT ALL BOOKSELLERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
AND IS PUBLISHED BY T. FISHER UNWIN LTD., 1 ADELPHI TERRACE. LONDON,
