Hi Cathy,

Lots of good advice in this post. Nothing much I can add, except to say that most of us wish we had been given similar advice when starting out!

You have acquired some VERY good books there. Read them well, and do browse through the older posts on the forum. But you are right - it is not easy to differentiate good from mediocre, or old from modern, until you have handled some genuine old bottles of high quality.
