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.

Book arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The book is extremely informative and I have been using it often. I would definately recommend buying this book if you are a depression glass collector! It has been extremely helpful in my e-Bay business.

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.

I am a collector/dealer that loves Depression Glass but am far from an expert. This book gave me information on some other patterns that were not in some of my other references. I have already used it some and will keep it as a great source of information in the future.

I read this cover to cover. The pricing information and items available in each pattern are invaluable information for collectors. I was disappointed that the patterns were not photographed well enough to distinguish one pattern from another if they were similar. For those who are just starting to collect or are trying to identify a particular pattern this would not be particularly helpful.

Very nice book with lots of great information in it for any glass collector. Very pleased with my purchase and will be purchasing from again.
Thank You,
