Title: Almost useless
Review: I have 25 years' experience in buying and selling antique wood and brasswinds, so this book was of very great interest. It claims to be a buyers'/collectors' guide but fails miserably. It gives lists of original prices for 19th century brasswinds by only TEN makers without consistent indication of current values. Pictures are arbitrary, poorly reproduced and often too small to be useful. Commonly encountered makers (Boosey, Gautrot, Sax etc) are absent. The "subjective price list" is poorly researched and not limited to antiques. Shame on Schiffer Publishing for publishing this book, it is almost useless. A potential buyer or seller will find little or no value in this book.
