5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand and pictures are great., October 18, 1999
I have collected alot of glass over the years and never cared to know what they were. I just love dishes! Now that I am becoming more serious I thought I would purchase some books for help in identification. This was one of three books I bought and the one that I turn to the most. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for information on glassware. I plan on purchasing more of Mr. Florences' books. I'm sure they all will be as helpful as this one. And in answer to Mr. Florences' question as to how the glassware shows with the different background colors, I think the dark purple on page 129 is to dark, leaving it hard to see the markings on some of the glassware. But, this is only my opinion and I am no expert on the subject. But you asked!! Thanks for a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best, August 10, 2001
By Cyndi Wilson "cdoubleu" (Beautiful Lakes Region of New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
I have a number of collector books, including Elegant Glassware of the Depression Era : Identification and Value Guide (8th Ed)by Gene Florence. Gene Florence books are my favorite by far. This book is very well formatted. It is loaded with clear pictures that are helpful in pattern identification, informative text, and has easy-to-use pricing guides. The book indexes the glassware by pattern name and by manufacturer.

Whether you are a novice collector or "expert", I am sure you will find this book to be very helpful. Gene Florence's down-to-earth presentation of glassware is refreshing and practical!
