Book Description
Engaging visual approach and practical guide to explaining the good and bad behavior of your horse!
The relationship between horse and human has been a close one for thousands of years, and until only recently horses were part of our everyday existence. Yet the love of horses remains as consummate as romance, and when a horse does not respond, or responds badly, it can be just as heartbreaking.
In this accessible and instructive book, author Abigail Hogg shares her intimate and extensive knowledge of working with horses and riders in a range of cultural settings. Use case studies, color diagrams, tables and checklists, readers will find great detail on how and why horses behave as they do. It draws on Hogg's personal experience in dealing with problem horses and offers sympathetic, informed and intelligent advice on how to get the best out of both horse and rider.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book!.......2004-12-27
Abigail Hogg does an excellent job explaining horse behavior and what we can do to improve our relationships with horses in this full color book. It is one of the few manual-type books that I've read in which I had a hard time putting it down--I just wanted to keep on reading. She includes case studies which show the application of her recommendations and make it even more interesting.
Product Description
The early Lambeth figures of John Broad, Leslie Harradine, Mark Marshall and George Tinworth continue to make gains in the market place. It is almost impossible to find a Tinworth figure for less than $2,000, while his classic pieces are in the five figure category. Nokes Vellum figures, produced at Burslem, have increased in value over 10th edition prices.
The early figures in the HN Series, from HN1 to approximately HN2000, have basically increased in value. This, of course, does not include the long run figures such as the Balloon Lady, Top o the Hill, etc. Character figures such as the Carpet Seller, Orange Vendor and The Cobbler are experiencing a weakening demand.
It is the middle section of HN numbers from approximately HN2000 to HN3000 that have come under pressure from on-line auction sales. It is the supply of figures in this bracket which experienced the great demand of the 1960s and 1970s as the pre-boomers entered the collectable field with gusto. It is these collections that are now being offered for sale on on-line auctions resulting in the supply overtaking the demand. The HN Series of the last twenty years, lets say HN3000 to HN4800, are basically short issued and are either holding or increasing in value.
More figures than ever are being issued annually. In 2005 over 125 new HN numbered figures were issued. However, the number of limited edition pieces is increasing, with the issue period being shorter, which makes an interesting case for the secondary market.
The 2005 figure Lawrence of Arabia (HN4695) by Alan Maslankowski, with a limited edition of 50 pieces carried on the modern Prestige series which began in 2002. We now have four figures in this series.
Other series introduced in 2005 are Best of the Classics, Chic Trends, Natural Beauty, Petites and Street Vendors.
All prices have been reviewed and updated for the 11th edition. In some cases, between markets we have the foreign exchange difference playing a major factor.
The 11th edition is the largest ever with the body of the book being 544 pages, plus 32 pages of colour.
The 11th edition is available from your local Royal Doulton dealer, book stores, on-line book stores such as Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Barnes&Noble.com and chapters.indigo.ca, or directly from the Charlton Press at the cover price plus postage.

Royal Doulton Figurines, 11th Edition - A Charlton Standard Catalogue by Jean Dale........2007-03-16
A useful catalogue for the collector of Royal Doulton Figurines.
Doulton Figurine Book.......2007-01-10
The book is very good and has photos of all but the latest figurines. The prices in the book would have to be considered "full retail". I found many figurines for sale in mint condition for 1/2 the book price or less. It is well organized with easy indexing by name or number.
Great Resource For Royal Doulton Figurines Identifications/Value........2006-11-11
This volume is enormously helpful in identifying & valuing Royal Doulton Figurines. Sorted by series (e.g. HN or M) & series # (4-digit number following series) it is very easy to use! Also it has cross-references which are very helpful when you have a name/title instead of the series #.
This book would have gotten a 5-star rating from me if it did not have missing HN series #'s, most of which correspond to animal figurines. Since I am interested in a FEW animals, it would have been nice to have them all in one volume! (I don't really want to buy ANOTHER reference just for the few animals I'm interested in!)
Also, if you are a Bunnykins collector, that info is also missing from this volume. (I'm not, so it wasn't a problem for me.)
Everything you ever wanted to know about Doulton figurines!.......2006-07-22
An extremely comprehensive book on Royal Doulton figurines for
the beginning or advanced collector. Each HN series figure is
pictured, described, and priced with artist noted. An excellent
resource for appraising your collection. The company history
section is fascinating. Well worth the price!
Royal Doulton Marketplace.......2005-09-20

Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide.......2007-03-28
Good price guide for many (but not all) of Royal Doulton products (tableware not included). An improvement over Charlton in that it provides colour pictures as opposed to Charlton's mostly black/white.Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide
Good Resource for Animals, Bunnykins, Flambe by Royal Doulton.......2007-01-04
This is a good resource for Royal Doulton items not found in the Charlton Standard Catalogue. The two books together will give you a pretty comprehensive resource for identifying & valuing "most" Royal Doulton pieces.
This duplicates a small portion of the info in Charlton Standard, but includes most things missing from it. It is a great resource for animals, Bunnykins, Character Jugs, Flambe, Burslem, Lambert Art wares and more!
To any Royal Doulton collectors, I recommend BOTH of these volumes! (Charlton Standard Catalogue & Antique Trader)
Book Description
Collectors around the world have enjoyed the animals figurines created by Royal Doulton for over a century. The 3rd edition of The charlton Standard Catalogue of Royal
Doulton Animals has been updated to include the new models introduced over the past few years, and to reflect the current market value of all Doulton animal figurines.
The three new series added to the 3rd edition are: The Charles Noke Collection, a tribute to Noke, whose classic model of a Polar Bear Monter and Her Cub was remodelled in 2001, by Robert Tabbenor, and issued in a limited edition of 200; the second series, modelled by Alan Maslankowski, Art is Life, contains beautifully sculpted animals such as wolves, bears, and horses; the third series, Burslem Artwares, contains the majestic flambé T'ang Horse and several other flambé pieces.
What appears to be the most buoyant niche in the Animal market today is the stoneware models of mice and frogs created by George Tinworth. The prices realized of these classic sculptures seem to escalate continuously when they appear at auction. There are well over 60 models created by
George Tinworth.
Each listing provides the model number, size, colour, designer, dates of issue and discontinuation, and the different glaze varieties that can be found on certain models. More than 1,200 illustrations on more than 475 pages results in a catalogue that covers the complete range of Royal Doulton Animals.

Book Description
The eighth edition of Storybook Figurines, A "Charlton Standard Catalogue," is completely updated with recent releases and current market values. Royal Doulton, Royal Albert, and Beswick storybook figurines are illustrated and their technical data listed.
Thirty-two colour plates are disbursed throughout the book in eight page sections. The first two sections, or 16 pages, are devoted to the figures of Beatrix Potter. Almost all `BP' figures, along with their varieties (177 individual images) are illustrated to assist in identifying the different characters in your collection. The third 8-page colour section, is devoted to Jill Barklem's Brambly Hedge storybook figures, 68 individual images, which may be used by the collector to assist in building a meaningful collection. The final eight page colour section covers the Royal Doulton issues of the Winnie the Pooh collection, 69 figures are illustrated in this group.
The main body of the catalogue, which includes the black and white images, the technical data, and prices, has been reviewed and updated to bring it current to 2005. Eight new releases were added to the Brambly Hedge chapter, while nine were added to the Winnie the Pooh section. Millennium Collectables added three new releases to their popular line of 20th Century Advertising Collectables.
The fast moving collectable market, brought on by the on-line auctions, is instrumental in the Storybook catalogue now being published on an annual basis. Price movements now dictate that if collectors wish to be current, they must have a current program.

Excellent.......1998-06-22
This book has something for every event in a garden. Planting, designing, what to grow and how to grow it. It is one of the most useful gardening books that I have on my shelf and use it often. In the winter its great to read and work out any previous season problems and plan for the new year.

Customer Reviews:
Urban Victory Garden.......2006-08-21
I was particularly impressed with this book because it's not just a pretty face. Unlike other gardening books full of lush illustrations and no content, The Victory Garden Companion is a valuable, usable guide. I particularly like the sections on urban gardening, and gardening in small spaces. Kudos to Michael, and all the folks at the Victory Garden for producing such a great volume.
Gardening Victory!.......2006-08-21
As a first time gardener faced with landscaping the blank yard of our new house, I found this book invaluable. Michael's clear, easy to understand instructions take you step by step through the process of creating a beautiful landscape for your home. And even though I won't be doing much of the heavy-lifting parts of the garden myself, at least now I have the beginning vocabulary needed to speak with the contractors; the other day, when the mason asked me, "Lady how big do you want your patio?" I knew the answer. This is a great guide that takes "intimidating" out of gardening!
