5.0 out of 5 stars
A mamoth job done perfectly
Andy 'the Decanter Man' has really done us proud in this epic production that has answers to most questions about the decanter. It is an excellent read not only for the expert and professional antique collector, but a great book for everyone's coffee table. This tome is well researched, illustrated and written. I look forward to future publications by this author.

Extremely disappointed
At the time of this review a used copy is going for $400. There is a lot of detailed history in this book. Beyond that, I expected a ton of color photos and a broad range of styles.

At the time of this review a used copy is going for $400. There is a lot of detailed history in this book. Beyond that, I expected a ton of color photos and a broad range of styles. Instead, there are a lot of black and white photos of clear glass designs. From time to time a few pages show color photos of nice decanters. But what really gets me salivating are gilded, colored, painted, enameled, and jeweled decanters. If you want photos of that, you need to look at "Moser Glass- The Klabin Collection" or "Enamels of the World- The Khalili Collection". For inexpensive books that have photos of several of the styles shown in this book and some I think are better, look at "Miller's Collecting Glass- The Facts at Your Fingertips" and "Starting to Collect Antique Glass".
