Duncan & Duncan Miller Glass,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Depression Glass by Duncan (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
This is a book full of wonderful color pictures of Depression Glass made by Duncan Miller. Besides, I love any book my Leslie Pina. Her books are worth every penny. My only criticism of the book is that it doesn't attempt to give lists for all pieces made for each specific pattern. For example, it shows the cup and saucer set in the Terrace Pattern, but doesn't list what other pieces were made. But, when looking at old Hobnail, it does have a list of other pieces. I wouldn't let that deter anyone from getting this book. The quality of the photography is remarkable and most helpful in identifying patterns.

Pretty good pictorial reference book. Information about the company was on the slim side, but had some interesting facts. Excellent colored photo's and values.
