About the Author
A collector since childhood, Gene Florence's hobby of buying and selling glassware turned into a full-time career. First writing a book on Depression Glass, Florence has gone on to author many popular glassware titles including books on Depression Glass; Occupied Japan Collectibles; Kitchen Glassware; Very Rare Glassware; 40s, 50s, & 60s Glassware;Elegant Glassware; Stemware; Glassware Pattern Identification; Anchor Hocking's Fire-King; Glass Candlesticks; and Salt & Pepper Shakers.
Cathy Florence, graduated with honors and a coveted voice award from high school, attended Georgetown College where she obtained a French major and an English minor, then married her middle-school sweetheart Gene Florence. In the mid-80s she authored a book on collecting quilts, harking back to skills taught her by her grandmothers; and she has since co-authored many books on glass with husband Gene.

Depression Glass,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass, 19th Edition (Hardcover)
As always, Florence has good information on collectible glass. New to this book are pictures with numbers so we can tell which piece is which, a very helpful addition. The pictures are very good with attention to detail on the patterns. His section on reproductions is also a very helpful portion, as there are many people out there who don't know how often this glass has been reproduced. I am sad that it's his last book, as I've had several of his editions on glassware.

Another winner for Gene and Kathy,

Don't know how many past issues of Gene Florence's depression glass books I've got, but they are invaluable for the collector. I used to get the new edition every year, but now I just get one every 2 or 3 years. Depends on how far into your collections you are, or if you are selling. I've read books by other authors, but in my opinion, the Florence books are the most accurate and have the best photography.
