I bought this book as a gift for a shot glass collector. This will certainly give him tips on what to look for and how to look for incredible collector items. Recommend this book for the beginner/novice shot glass collector.

This review is from: The Definitive Guide to Shot Glasses (Paperback)

The author of this guidebook has written a number of books on shot glasses and glassware in addition to other collectables. He is very knowledgable on the subject.
This 1992 book starts out with a history of drinking and patterns of drinking then it gets into a history of glassware in Europe and America- all of this is very interesting. Then it gets into shot glasses and their history.
The shot glasses shown are all black and white drawings and not actual color photos and although this does give a good idea, it's not as good as a color picture. I see that he has done books that do show color photos but this is not one of those. For shot glass collector's, this is a very useful, fun and informative guide on their hobby. But it falls a bit short in the photo department so it only gets 4 stars.
