Reminder: AuctionBytes-Update does not endorse the products and services featured in the "This & That" column, which often features new Web sites. (Anyone can set up a Web site.) Fraud has become widespread in the online auction world, and you should think twice before giving private information or User IDs and passwords to any third party.

The Kovels are publishing their 40th anniversary edition of the "Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List." The 2008 edition has five times the photos of previous editions; includes tips on care, repair, record prices paid and identification tips for antiques and collectibles; and has 42,000 brand new prices fresh from the antiques & collectibles marketplace, including prices from flea markets, shops, shows, the Internet and auctions. The 2008 edition also lists hundreds of sidebars that are filled with interesting facts and fascinating details about many of the items listed in the guide. Kudos to Ralph and Terry!
