Detailed Information June 23, 2008

I very much enjoy having this book. I live near West Virginia and wanted to know more about the many glass factories that were located in the area. This book covers most of them in great detail, and provides examples of their glassware. It is a good, informative resource book, and beautiful to look at.

Enjoyable Quality Reference for Little-Known Glass Companies November 27, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

It's often difficult to decide which of the many reference book offerings are worthy of a home library. Here's one subject area you won't worry about seeing repeated by many authors. Six has compiled information about some "orphan" manufacturers of vintage glass, along with placing the more well-known makers (Fenton, Fostoria) in historical, and geographical, context. We were reading this at a depression glass show and caused most of the passing dealers to stop to ask how to buy one. The photography is beautiful and will be a big help in identifying odd pieces not chronicled in the usual DG and Elegant books. However, the editing is a bit haphazard and following the narrative time lines can be difficult. My uncles worked in these factories and this is a welcome bit of confirmation to the oral history I grew up with. This book nicely balances the stories of the companies with the collector info needed by dealers and hobbyists.

Glass What we Missed in Weatherman's Book 2! August 2, 2002
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have waited for somebody to show us what Central Glass put out in the 1930's! This book has it! All the unidentified depression glass we could not find previously - well, some of it is in this book! Well worth what I had to spend!
