The book is clearly divided into 80 subject categories and sub-sections, with sections devoted to automobilia, art deco, games, and money boxes for instance, along with the more traditional antiques categories such as ceramics, silver, and glass. This year special features include dogs, computer games, sunglasses, vinyl records, denim, and sportswear. Pieces range in value, showing that there is something to suit every collector's pocket, from "Pocket Money Collectables" to "Record Breakers". A thorough and accurate cross-section of the current international market is provided as all items have been sold or offered for sale at over 350 auction houses and dealers from around the world over the last year. Extra valuable collecting information is provided in boxes, covering factories, makers, care, restorations, fakes and alterations, market assessments, and buying tips. Further reading is also highlighted throughout, along with lists of collector's clubs, auctioneers, and specialist dealers.
