New Appraisal Books

I am running a bit behind on reviewing some recently published books which are pertinent to personal property appraising. I may have mentioned some of them in past posts, but I have yet to dedicate a full post on each of these books.  I am sure there are others, but the books I will post on over the next week or two include

• Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies - 2014
• Appraising Personal Property Principles and Methodology, 6th edition by David Maloney
• Art Market Research, 2nd edition, by Tom McNulty
• A Guide to Appraising Fine Art, published by the International Society of Appraisers, and was developed as the new manual for the ISA the Fine Art course manual
• Art as an Investment? A Survey of Comparative Assets, by Melanie Gerlis
• Appraising Art: The Definitive Guide to Appraising Fine and Decorative Art, published by the Appraisers Association of American

These books should be in every appraisers reference library.  There are plenty of books on product knowledge for both fine art and the dec arts, but there is a limited amount of quality published material which is current available.  More on each book in the coming weeks.

Follow the book title links above for more information or should you wish to purchase immediately.

If you are not current with the newest ideas and concepts in appraising fine and decorative arts, with new research concepts, updated content on USPAP, the latest on art as an asset class and how to blend your specialty knowledge with appraisal theory and methodology you are doing yourself and your clients a disservice.
