Tea asked:

I love the antiques roadshow and things of that nature. I would like to learn more about antiques (NOT TO BE a PRO)!
I would just like to learn more from books or websites or whatever. I can’t go to classes because I’m kinda housebound but would still like to learn more. Thanks!
Yes I know I said I wanted to learn from books but I was hoping you could recommend some specfic ones!

A primer of book-collecting

There are some good groups on MSN and Yahoo you can join to learn from others with same interest.
Figure out what you’re into first to narrow your focus like is it dolls, collectibles, furniture, paintings? Then concentrate on learning about them otherwise its overwhelming. Most experts have an area they are really good at and find others that are good at each category.

I can’t tell you because then I would be teaching you how to teach yourself.
