A must have for new collectors,
By seamorelilfoot "skheinz" (Hotlanta, Ga.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collectors Encyclopedia of Muncie Pottery Identification (Hardcover)
Having several pieces of Muncie and NOT knowing it - this book helped with their idenficiations - Lots of marks - glazes and shapes - this helps from novice and expert collector as none of us have seen or will ever have a chance to see all that is listed in the book. As I have over thirty reference book - this is one of the best.
