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!

This book is the most comprehensive head vase book that has ever been written and I have them all. Beautiful color pictures and realistic up to date values. Loaded with useful information not available in other head vase books. A must have for the head vase collector.

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.

For the amateur to the experienced, this is a fabulous reference guide for all headvase collectors! Definite must-have !

The book is in great condition and exactly what I exected and useful to me. However the process after the purchase from Amazon takes far to long. A month for a book is rediculous.

Fast shipping and a nice book, but just like the Encyclopedia of Head Vases by Kathleen Cole, none of my head vases were listed in the book. So again, I don't fault the book, but it was a little disappointing.

I purchased this book for my mother in-law. She has been collecting head vases for a few years so I knew it would be something of interest. When I handed her the book she was so excited. I am so glad that I made this purchased and the price was very reasonable.

A GREAT help on my venture of collecting head vases!

This reference book has many well done photos of head vases with values at the time of publication. However, there is little detail about any of them and many vases are marked as the maker is unknown.

I was a little unhappy with the book. I had inherited 2 original ladyhead
vases from a deceased Aunt. I couldn't find either one in the book. I
wanted more info on the collecting of the vases and the book was lacking
there too. I should have gotten another one that went into more detail.
