I just purchased the 2013 book and would like to know if by upgrading my online account to premium would be redundant or not. What are the advantages of premium online access over (if any) the book? I tried emailing Kovels’ but for some reason my server will not accept the return e-mail (confused as I have received e-mails regarding my posts on the forum), hence my online question.
A registered user on our website has free access to 22+ Kovel price books, but prices from our current price guide are not included. A PREMIUM PLUS SUBSCRIPTION to our website grants access to our monthly 12-page newsletter, “Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles,” now in its 39th year of publication, along with 10+ years of newsletter archives; access to our pottery & porcelain and silver dictionaries of marks; and access to our archive of newspaper columns. A premium subscription allows you to do research on countless types of antiques and collectibles—it is a resource we at Kovels use constantly when preparing and researching information for new articles and columns. Our syndicated newspaper column appears in newspapers and magazines around the United States. Each newspaper column includes a researched article, readers’ questions and prices. We carefully review every price and description. The information and prices in our weekly columns are not used in our annual “Kovels’ Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide,” nor in our monthly 12-PAGE (not 4 or 5 pages) newsletter. I hope this helps. Best, Terry
