3.0 out of 5 stars Animal covered dishes et al., May 28, 2000

This review is from: Covered Animal Dishes (Paperback)

This books loses stars for two reason. The first reason being the book has too many non-animal covered dishes. A book titled ANIMAL COVERED DISHES should be just that! The second reason is the lack of in-depth information regarding the makers of the various dishes displayed. Many times the examples given are not always helpful considering the wide range of reproduction on the market. One never gets the feeling Grist writes about these dishes out of interest rather than the monetary value they possess. Kudos are given for the large pictures, clearly photographed and nicely captioned. Perhaps more of the space could have been used for information? More of a coffee table book than a collector's guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for easy identification of styles and makers., April 5, 2000

Everett Grist's Covered Animal Dishes provides an excellent visual display with the nearly full-page color photos in front and the values listed in back. This makes for easy identification of styles and makers.

I was disappointed that the binding of my copy of this fell apart the first time I used the book- about half of the pages fell out!

The photos are nice, but they aren't consistently identified (readers want to know if glass is new or old, so manufacturers matter even to the most casual collector).

Finally, if you buy this book for the great photos, be sure to visit the website of the National Milk Glass Collectors society-- they have a handy downloadable list of corrections for this book. There are a lot of factual errors in this book which you will want to be aware of.
