THE COLLECTOR'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HULL POTTERY by B. ROBERTS June 3, 2000
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

This book is very informative, the HULL History, the values are very helpful, and the pictures are lovely. It is helpful as there are many Hull pictures shown, in neat order with the plate number and page numbers in the back for easy Value Finding. I LOVE THIS HULL BOOK! I refer to it often and it doesn't miss a piece.

Can't live without it! February 9, 2000

As a new enthusiast of Hull pottery, I found this book to hold a wealth of knowledge about the Hull company itself as well as the beautiful pieces it produced. I can't live without my copy! I have found the prices to be very accurate. It was very easy to find the prices of pieces in the back of the book. I would highly recommend this book to any hull lover, as it will give you a true appraisal of the pottery.

Inconvenient and incomplete January 8, 2000
36 out of 38 found this review helpful

If you seriously collect or sell Hull pottery, skip this book. Only the most expensive pieces have color pictures and valuations, but even for many of these you will only find small black and white pictures, and no valuations. Furthermore, almost 25% of the book is merely reprints from old Hull catalogs, with no valuations included. Valuations are inconveniently listed in the back of the book, which requires a lot of page flipping (very convenient for the publisher, who only has to update this section, rather than the entire book). I get the impression that this book was merely published to profit off the interest of collectors, but not really intended to serve the collector's needs.

Great Resource/Information April 15, 1999
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

I purchased this book to help me identify a Hull piece that I recently acquired. Unfortunately, this book did not contain information about my pottery, but the book proved to be a wealth of information. I am NOT disappointed! Great pictures and a great guide!

LOTS OF COLOR PICS; HISTORY OF HULL August 3, 1998
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

I am a new collector and could not find a book on Hull in my local library. My son suggested amazon.com and I chose this book. There are lots of color pics of almost, if not all, the patterns Hull manufactured. There is an updated (1997) price list in the back of the book. I carry this with me when I go to flea markets/antique shopping!
