How to recognnize an original antique book or print?
1-I have recently gotten into collecting antique books (16th,17th,18th century), and I was wondering, if in a nutshell anybody could tell me how to recognize a fake from an original.
2-And I have been recently looking at ebay antiques section and they have amazing things there, but how do I know if the antiques on ebay are original or fakes? I ask the seller questions but people lie to sell.
anyone can help me?
Has anyone ever bought antiques of ebay?
You need alot of book learning. Books are an art unto themselves. It is difficult to determine the rarity of a book because publisher’s have ways of doing things with first editions that you need to know. Some publishers called every book a first edition, when in fact they were not a first edition. If you really want to collect antique books, take classes or try to work part time for a book collector. This is a very sophisticated art…book collecting. If you want a good hint and some fun reading, try buying or borrowing any of the murder mystery books by John Dunning. The “hero” is Cliff Janeway and the murders always involved rare books. They are good reads but as many books do, there is background information in the books that tell you just how complicated book collecting can be.
