Complete Price Guide to Watches 2008.
This said guide is quite inacurate, the authors just copied the same old stuff of previous books and tried to imitate the real stuff that their competitors do, I am referring to the rel thing, that is titled and has been "number one" for many years: WRIST WATCH PRICE GUIDE, by Sherry & Roy Ehrhardt and Joe DeMesy.

Some of the prices of wrist watches are just plain lies, plaese take a look at page 1086 and you can see the STOWA 20-221 Military watch. Ca. 1942 at the incredible price from $400 to $800 dollars. This is just a plain lie, this watch, if you ever find one, costs aroun 5 to 10,000 dollars.

What do this people think, that is the publishers of this so called price guide,about the people that buy this worthless, that we are morons?. I am so sorry to have waisted my time and money on a piece of printed junk...

A very disatisfied reader...

I got this for my husband to use in our business. He says it's been very helpful. I got it to update his old one.

A good source for information but to refer to the guide as "complete" would be streching it a bit.

Use the book often in my work. A great addition. Thanks for the fast shipping.

One of the best watch books around, it basically plods along, virtually unchanged, year, after year. Except for price updates, and a new cover every year, this book is getting long in the tooth. My main problem is realistic pricing, which would not serve the authors, primarily Tom Engle, who is a high-end watch dealer. Many items are underpriced, in my opinion, and do not reflect real world pricing.

The pictures are small black and whites, so bad they almost look drawn. The prices are inline with what 'SELLERS' would pay for a watch. The definitive guide to watches. Not very good, but where else are you gonna get this info.

This is a very complete guide to watches, has excellent explantions within which is very helpful in understanding watches over the last 4 centuries. Good illustrations, nice layout which is fairly easy to follow. There is a lot of information on US watches and a light overview on watches manufactured in other countries. This is a great book for anyone interested in collecting or restoring watches, actually it is a must.

Once again, Mr. Shugart and the team have published the definitive work on
timepieces, both unique and mundane. Along with current pricing criteria,
the book is a wealth of valuable information on all aspects of timepiece
collecting, and the opening pages make very worthwhile reading. I heartlly
recommend this to anyone with a love of precision timepieces, old and new.
