Book excerpt: The first edition of THE LLADRO INDENTIFICATION CATALOG & PRICE GUIDE is the must-have book for all Lladro & antique porcelain figurine collectors. Published after six years of research & photography, the book is the official Lladro Collectors Society reference source. A black-&-white photo of every one of the 3,000 designs produced by Lladro in Spain for over a half century appears in this single volume. The photos are cleverly grouped into 84 separate common sense categories for easy look-up. Included with each photo is a complete table containing such collector information as rarity, past auction prices, year of issue, year of retirement & estimates of fair market values. In addition to chapters on the history of hard paste porcelain & how Lladro porcelain figurines are made, there's an excellent beginner's essay on "The Art & Logic of Collecting for Pleasure & Profit."
