The 31st edition of this guide has a new look for 2003. The fact-filled book is now in a larger format and has colour throughout with a new design. The maps are easier to read and contain all of the information on addresses, telephone numbers and speciality indexes. So that information is easy to find, the guide is arranged by area. London is divided by postal districts while the rest of the country is split alphabetically into counties, then towns or villages. In-depth information about each shop includes not only the address, email address and telephone number, but also the date established, opening hours, type of stock and price range, details of location, where to park, name of proprietor and membership of trade associations. The guide also contains information on auctioneers, packers and shippers, a specialist dealers' index as well as a section on services to the antiques trade.
