Chock.lee, I'm sure pterron meant a book that deals with the field of autograph collecting, gives advice on authenticity, etc. If you go to the forum Collecting Help there's already a topic on this that suggest some titles {up} personally I don't use any books, they're all USELESS (to me) because they have none of the celebs I admire in them, and there's never much emphasis on British celebs (unless they're big in Hollywood). I just do my own thing!

Yeah, I meant a technical book. Just to know basic rules - like how to store them, how to frame them, what not to do... This kind of stuff.

There are a couple of threads on that in "collecting help". {thumb2}

Thank you, guys!

Do you have an opinion on the "frame / do not frame" issue? I would love to frame my autographs but...

There are several topics on Collecting Help about how to. I checked out these 2 books from the library when I first got into it - "The Standard Guide to Collecting Autographs: A Reference & Value Guide" and "Collector's guide to celebrity autographs" - both by Mark Allen Baker.
