One Of The Best References I Own
Being in the hobby of collecting glass as I am for over a decade, becomes alot more interesting when you have a fantastic book like this to refer to.

This book offers tremendous return for your dollar as far as what it gives you. Concisely written, easy to read, well planned and designed value guides on the same page with the pattern you are researching, are ideal. The number of pictures you get of any pattern is by far, more detailed than any other reference I have seen. The number of pieces made that are listed ALSO seem more complete. You will see a wide array of all the patterns in all the colors which is incredible as well. As much as I am a fan of Gene Florences' wonderful glassware references of which I have many, THIS beats his Elegant Glassware of The Depression Era. It just is more complete. It also shows patterns that he does not include.

If you collect, sell, have an interest in glassware or all of the above like me, you too, will want to add this volume to your glass reference library.

Elegant Glass Early, Depression, and Beyond
Great book! Gives plenty of color-photo examples of named pieces. Very pleased with this book. Different editions many times show different pieces for examples, it's a good thing.
