Judith Miller began collecting in the 1960’s while a student at Edinburgh University in Scotland. Fascinated by the inexpensive plates she bought in the city’s junk stores, she began to research their history in books and auction catalogs and at local antique fairs. She has since extended and reinforced her knowledge of antiques through international research, becoming one of the world’s leading experts in the field. Her expertise includes historic interiors. Judith is a regular lecturer and contributor to numerous newspapers and magazines.
In 1979 Judith co-founded the international best-seller Miller’s Antiques Price Guide and has since written more than 100 books, which are held in high regard by collectors and dealers. She will be signing Miller's Collectibles Price Guide 2009 and Miller's Antiques Price Guide 2009.
