/PRNewswire/ -- Do you need to get an appraisal for precious family
heirlooms or find a dealer or collector who wants to buy your old
radio? The new 7th edition of Maloney's Antiques & Collectible
Resource Directory, authored by David Maloney, certified appraiser
and chief appraisal officer for Sales OnLine Direct (BULLETIN
BOARD: PAID) , has the most current listings for thousands of
appraisers, dealers, experts, auctioneers, repair specialists and
other resources in thousands of categories of antiques and
collectibles. The 7th edition, published by Krause Publications,
will be available in major bookstores and online in mid-December
2003. Maloney's Directory, often considered the 'bible' of the
antiques and collectibles industry, is the unrivaled source for
information to aid in the authentication and valuation of antiques
and collectibles, or to help with the successful resolution of a
loss or damage claim. Covering more than 3,200 categories of
antiques, collectibles and other types of personal property, this
massive collection of more than 20,000 dealers, collectors, clubs
and specialized periodicals offers an unparalleled source of
expertise. Since its debut, Maloney's Antiques & Collectibles
Resource Directory has been hailed as the "...best one-volume
research tool in print." (Gannett News Service) and as a Best
Reference Book (Library Journal.) In print for 14 years, this
unique and comprehensive all-in-one information source has proven
itself as the only complete resource for hard-to-find information
about antiques, collectibles, art and other categories of personal
property. More than 250,000 copies of Maloney's Directory are in
circulation, with many available in the resource sections of
libraries. "The Directory is an invaluable resource for
professionals in the antiques and collectibles industries, as well
as for estate liquidators, moving companies, attorneys, claims
adjusters and many others," said David Maloney. "The new edition
features more categories, cross references, email addresses and web
sites than ever before to make it easier and faster for users to
find the resources they are seeking. We're continually updating and
refining the publication to ensure it remains the most
comprehensive and user-friendly antiques and collectibles resource
directory available." "Often when people realize that their
collectible items are valuable and/or of interest to others, they
are at a loss as to how to set a price or find a buyer (should they
choose to sell) or to locate information to learn more about their
collectible," Maloney remarked. "The goal of Maloney's Antiques
& Collectibles Resource Directory is to place as much
information as possible at the user's fingertips to allow him or
her to make decisions based on knowledge and fact. Veteran dealers
and collectors are well aware that knowledge and information are
the keys to success in the world of antiques and collectibles."
Harry Rinker, noted author, columnist, lecturer on antiques and
collectibles, and host of Home & Garden Television's (HGTV)
Collector Inspector, a weekly show devoted to seeking out antiques
and collectibles in private homes, said, "David Maloney has created
a directory with the answers. His Resource Directory is a reference
source that anyone associated with the field simply has to own."
