Nice compliment to Warmans Field Guide February 16, 2007
Good information, especially on how to spot reproductions. I also like the extensive photos of different pattern pieces.

This book was great for identifying pieces, pictures are clear and easy to see. Also included prices for each item. It was missing a few things, but overall very used and a must have for every collector.

Gene and Cathy Florence have done an outstanding job on this book. The pictures are outstanding and an excellent source for identifying various glass pieces. The descriptions are clear and very informative. My only issue is with the prices quoted. As Internet auctions, such as eBay are now the premier source for purchasing or selling depression glass, prices are drastically lower for most items listed in this book. This is also true for other similar books by other authors as well. As on-line auction sites are now the dominant source for depression glass and other collectables, the average prices seen over time on on-line auctions must be taken into account for future values.

I recently purchased this book because I not only wanted to start collecting depression glass, but I wanted to know what I was talking about and also what I was buying. The photography is fantastic. The legends are priceless. The summary of each collection provides you with its' history. The valuation of the depression glass pieces allows you to make sound purchasing decisions. This book is excellent for the novice, yet invaluable for the more serious glass collector. Highly recommend!

Another Great book by Gene Florence. This book is very well organized and contains the information that a collector will want. I recommend this to every beginning collector. I couldn't do without this book when searching for and identifying depression glass. Large pictures are clear, in color, and show great detail. Lots of information. A must have!
