What am I missing? October 28, 2008
Apparently, a lot. This book makes me want to go out and buy a different one on the same subject. I can't seem to find anything in it that is useful. Either they left a lot out, or I am just looking in the wrong book. I see things on Ebay all the time that one would think would be in here but they are not. I've only identified one pattern so far. There are no toothpick holders or salt cellars. I'm more confused now than before. The pictures are dull and boring. I think a Field Guide in general is a bad idea because the size of the photos is so small. Sticking to the large books would have been better.

Great Reference Book September 27, 2008
I've used this book for selling many pieces of depression glass. It is very detailed with lots of pictures to help identify pieces by maker and pattern.

Don't Rely on These Values September 6, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book is a fantastic take-along for going to antique stores and garage sales and the like. It contains several helpful sections to help you identify patterns including a catagorized section of borders (birds, floral, art deco, etc.) and a shape guide which is primarily useful when looking for plates and serving pieces. All of the photos of actual pieces are in color. This book also contains several patterns that Gene Florence's Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass does not.

One thing about this book that needs to be mentioned is the large discrepency in value for many pieces between the Warman's guide and Florence's guide. I don't know if this is because this edition is already 3 years old or what. You may feel like you are getting an incredible deal when you are actually not. This book also doesn't contain much information on each pattern except for the basics and it doesn't have much good information on reproductions.

This is a great field guide for glass, but it's good to have a back-up, more recent guide for values.

Lovely descriptive book. Found several of my pieces immediately. Will be a great reference book for my collection.
