Alice B. reviewed The Bentley Collection Guide 2003-2004: The Reference Tool for Consultants, Collectors, and Enthusiasts of Longaberger Baskets on + 3628 more book reviews
Great tool! This is the best version for myself because I feel Longaberger baskets have gone down in quality since the early 2000's - I didn't buy them then and I don't buy them now. So for my purposes, I don't need a more updated version.
The Bentley Collection book is a worthwhile tool for Longaberger collectors as sellers and for buyers - we all have the odd piece that we should have purchased at the time but missed the opportunity. This guide will help determine if the price a seller is charging is fair.
Also, if you have baskets that have been purchased as a used item that has no paperwork, this guide will help in identification. It is not exhaustive, but the slack can be picked up by sending a picture directly to Longaberger's guest services along with the date and dimensions of the basket(s) in question. 364 pages
