This is one of the best books on pottery that I have purchased. It's very easy to locate a piece along with its value. Factory marks and numbers are well explained. I highly recommend this book.

Karen B (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bing & Grondahl Figurines (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)

Excellent resource for identifying B&G figurines!!! Book is VERY organized and easy to use. All listings are arranged in numerical order according to the figurine's manufacture "mold" number. There is a color photo of each figurine listed. There also are photos depicting variations in color/design of figurine, if indicated. A listing of B&G Identification Marks with images and dates, are listed in the beginning of the book. If you collect these figurines, this is a MUST HAVE book.
