I really like the pictures in this book. There are some errors, but it has enough good reference material to be worth the price.

This review is from: Early American Pattern Glass Cake Stands & Serving Pieces (Hardcover)
This is a good source or research book for cake sand colectors. We wish more picture of depression era cake stands, along with prices, had been added. This is a good start, but there is so much other information which could have been added. Would recommend.
