Tips and hints for collectors, information on how to make repairs and remove crazing, and how to spot reproductions and fakes are among the special sections in the book. A chapter on the annual head vase convention with information and photographs is included, as well as a quick reference guide to the numbers on the bottoms of the vases. 2004 values. AUTHORBIO: David Barron has been researching and cataloging head vases since 1998.

REVIEW: This book is a beautiful tribute to head vases - full of hundreds of color photographs of sets, various women, Art Deco, wall pockets, Madonnas, celebrities, Umbrella girls, Betty Lou Nichols vases, children, couples, convention pieces, clowns, Christmas, and much more.

4 out of 5 stars Good reference for head vases collectors   September 24, 2008
This reference book has many well done photos of head vases with values at the time of publication. However, there is little detail about any of them and many vases are marked as the maker is unknown.


5 out of 5 stars Wow what a wonderful book   June 18, 2008
Excellent book well done. Wonderful display of head vases. He has divided his ladies into catagories. He includes cleaning tips, repair tips, head vase websites and best of all and added plus he has a numerical index in the back of his book very very helpfull to finding that special lady fast when you are checking out prices on Ebay. If I could only purchase one collection book I would purchase Dave Barrons book.


2 out of 5 stars Little unhappy   January 21, 2008
I was a little unhappy with the book. I had inherited 2 original ladyhead
vases from a deceased Aunt. I couldn't find either one in the book. I
wanted more info on the collecting of the vases and the book was lacking
there too. I should have gotten another one that went into more detail.



4 out of 5 stars slow process   January 7, 2008
The book is in great condition and exactly what I exected and useful to me. However the process after the purchase from Amazon takes far to long. A month for a book is rediculous.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference Guide !   July 9, 2007
For the amateur to the experienced, this is a fabulous reference guide for all headvase collectors! Definite must-have !
