By Barbara Milo Ohrbach, Clarkson Potter/Publishers, $30
Ohrbach, who wrote <i>Antiques at Home</i> 15 years ago, is back with an antique lover's Baedeker, filled to bursting with not only striking photographs but also information and resources that anyone smitten with the past will appreciate--and use. Pages devoted to the history, care and cleaning of ceramics, silver, glass and textiles include a reference library of sources for further reading, replacement and matching services, and restorers and suppliers. Also included is insider info on antiques shows, flea markets, museums and historic houses from Helsinki and Hong Kong to Venice and Vienna and major cities in between. (via Elements of Living)
