Thank you for your interest in our Spring/Summer 2018 Antiques &Collectibles catalog. Here you will find the hard work of our passionate authors, editors, and designers, who have created books that educate, entertain, instruct, and inspire. Schiffer Publishing was founded in 1974, and quickly became a household name for quality books for the collector. Fast-forward 43 years and although the antiques and collectibles market has evolved over the years, Schiffer’s drive to publish books in niche areas with high-quality information and excellent images remains consistent. This season, we’re excited to introduce you to Antique American Needlework Tools (pg. 6), the first publication to focus exclusively on American tools. For collectors of pocket knives and watches, you won’t want to miss Chasing Time (pg. 2), a collection showcasing the most interesting and luxurious watches from the twentieth century, or The Gentleman’s Pocket Knife (pg. 3) a journey into the history and technology of beautiful pocket knives from past generations and today. As always, our newest season stretches across a diverse range of topics, and we pride ourselves on creating a list that piques your curiosity and encourages you to dive deeper into your passion. We hope you enjoy our books, and we welcome you to “find a niche and scratch it” with these titles. –The Schiffer Publishing Team SchifferPublishing SchifferPublishing schifferbooks schifferbooks www.schifferbooks.com This and other Schiffer Publishing catalogs are available on: Copyright © 2018 by Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. “Schiffer,” “Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.,” and the pen and inkwell logo are registered trademarks of Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.
