Review
This book is arranged by color, and candles are arranged by company and pattern within the color sections. The author says this is the easiest way for new as well as seasoned collectors to find an unknown candle for which they are searching. It is a welcome addition to your reference library on glassware.

Candlesticks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Glass Candlesticks Of The Depression Era (Hardcover)
This book is a very colorful and well written book. However, I expected to see many more pictures of candlesticks than are offered in this book. There is 165 pages of candlesticks with 2 - 3 examples per page, which is probably around the amount made during the Depression Era. Florence gives the company name, the pattern, color, size and mint value. The photos are great and I believe this book is valuable to those just getting into collecting candlesticks from this era.

Glass Candlesticks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Glass Candlesticks Of The Depression Era (Hardcover)
Very beautiful pictures, but limited. Wish Florence has used a different format instead of listing by color. It would have been helpful if he had stated the colors and etchings available for each candlestick.
