Appraising Personal Property:
Principles & Methodology - 4th Edition
- 10%-off early bird special -

Now Ready! I am pleased to announce that the 4th edition of Appraising Personal Property: Principles and Methodology (2010 Appraisers Press) is now ready. With 570 pages, this edition is bigger and better than ever: fully-edited for clarity, scores of new topics and expanded discussions, fully USPAP-compliant, and with all-new sample appraisals that help ensure completeness, understandability and USPAP compliance of written appraisal reports.

"I concluded that it was very probably the most thorough book on appraising personal property available in the marketplace today. Moreover, because the volume was built around USPAP, it did not get bogged down in the competing terminologies used by various appraisal societies in their education programs. The book was relevant to all personal property appraisers using USPAP as their practice guideline."
-Stephen P. Sweeting, MRICS

It is easy to use, has a great index, is current with USPAP, and the text/content covers all important and significant areas of appraising.  The numerous examples and sample documents are excellent.

• Learn the appraisal theory, principles, practices, ethics, standards, methodology, legal issues and report writing skills associated with developing credible appraisal opinions, conclusions and analyses.

• As a fully-indexed reference guide, this book will also allow you to quickly and easily find the appraisal-related information you are seeking.
  

They say you can't tell a book by its cover. That may be, but taking a look at this book's

• Table of Contents,
• Chapter Synopses, and
• Index
  

will certainly help!

Not enough? Here is a peek inside the 4th edition. This .pdf preview includes a description of the appraisal report structure, its required content, and even a sample transmittal letter for a donation appraisal. You are welcome to use the sample transmittal letter as you like. If you quote from the balance of the material, kindly acknowledge its source.

This new edition has so many new topics and expanded discussions that I've lost count. Size-wise though, this 4th edition is a whopping 570 pages!

This early bird special is a limited-time offer, so order now!
