This book contains a wealth of information about perfume bottles of all types ... much, much more than just a price guide. Whatever question you might have regarding a bottle, the answer will be here. Beautifully illustrated with many, many color photographs. Well worth the price.

Hard to follow. No index. Difficult to understand how/why these
sections were set up. In all, disappointing!

The pictures and information in this book was great. It was meant as a gift for my mother, since she collects antique perfume bottles, but I couldn't stop looking at the pictures and reading about the bottles. I think this book may have turned me into a collector of perfume bottles. I just went to an antique shop recently and bought 3 bottles. I came home and immediately called my mother, asking to borrow this book. Excellent book, full of a wealth of information.
