Clear Pictorial guide for the collector,
By cctrn821@aol.com (California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crackle Glass Identification & Value Guide, Book II (Paperback)
This book provides a wonderful display of crackle glass with vibrant photographs and detail. It provides information to help the collector assess the value in regards to color and type of crackle glass. A wonderful addition to the Weitman's first book on crackle glass. I would like to see more unique pieces. There is repetitive glass in this book, however they differ slightly and do offer valuable information. A wonderful book for the beginner as well as advanced collector. Five stars!

Best Book for Wrong Information,
By
This review is from: Crackle Glass from Around the World: Identification and Value Guide (Hardcover)
When I first flipped through this book, I thought it showed some promise. Now having gone through it page by page I've come to realize how wrong it is to judge a book by it's cover(or flipping through it in this case). To say this book is full of mistakes is an understatement. In fact since going through this book I think it can be blamed for a fair amount of misidentified crackle glass on the internet. There are so many misidentified pieces I couldn't list them in the space alloted. I understand that guide books are simply that, but the fact of the matter is most folks will quote from them as gospel.
The images (large amount of cruets) are very repetative. After a while they all seem to run together in a mismash of misidentified Blenko, Rainbow, Pilgrim et. al. Save your money, buy the Leslie Pina books, while they aren't perfect either, they are a heck of a lot better than this "guide book". While Pina's books are not cheap, you know what the saying is "you get what you paid for". I really wish I had not paid for this book.
