Books by Dion Abadi
Two books for people who buy, collect, or simply wonder about art, jewelry, and watches at auction.
The Collector’s Guide is the practical handbook: what to check before you buy and how the auction process works from the bidder’s side. Beyond the Gavel is the skeptical companion: what it really means to treat art, jewelry, and watches as investments, and where the hype goes wrong.
Both books are available on Amazon. The Kindle editions are published under the Dion Abadi Auctions imprint; The Collector’s Guide is also available in paperback.
