This review is from: Collecting Head Vases (Paperback)
I'm a new head vase collector, but this is by far the best and most comprehensive book around! I have found it easy to use and the pictures and info are great. I also bought the Kathleen Cole book and this one is much better! I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

Excellent book well done. Wonderful display of head vases. He has divided his ladies into catagories. He includes cleaning tips, repair tips, head vase websites and best of all and added plus he has a numerical index in the back of his book very very helpfull to finding that special lady fast when you are checking out prices on Ebay. If I could only purchase one collection book I would purchase Dave Barrons book.
