Disappointing
Collector Books did not live up to its generally fine quality of productions in this guide to English ceramics.

Collector Books did not live up to its generally fine quality of productions in this guide to English ceramics. The text is awkwardly written, confusing or contradictory in places, and colorless, lacking enthusiasm. Worse, a very large number of the illustrations are seriously shadowed, a most annoying flaw in an identification guide. On the plus side, the range and selection of objects discussed is ample, and the illustrations of marks are helpful.

No focus. Book goes everywhere and nowhere. Didn't learn a dang thing and returned it. I don't use these books for prices guides..obsolete.... If you like to look at pretty photos, then this book is okay, otherwise, a collector will find no use for it.
