5.0 out of 5 stars The One and Only Book on Goofus Glass, March 14, 2002

By

This review is from: Goofus Glass: An Illustrated Value Guide (Paperback)

This small book is filled with photos of Ms. McKinley's goofus glass pieces. She provides some pricing guidelines, but those may not be relevant in 2002. An excellent resource book for collectors, especially anyone interested in learning to identify goofus glass.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard book to find, February 27, 2004

By 

Amy DeLong (SLC, UT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goofus Glass: An Illustrated Value Guide (Paperback)

Great photos....though the prices are no longer relevant....some peices go for more than the author lists and some for less. Also, beware experimenting with painting your glassware as the author does if you want it to retain its collectability. All in all, a good book and a fun reference to have when cruising ebay for good goofus glass buys!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Goofy Goofus", December 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Goofus Glass: An Illustrated Value Guide (Paperback)

I cannot rate this book as I am trying to obtain one.Ijust know it would be 5 stars. The name of the book "Goofus Glass" by Carolyn McKinley caught my attention since I like to collect glass made in the 40"s. I attend flea markets and auctions trying to locate a piece. My friends and family tease me and ask me when was the last time I went Goofy Glass Hunting.
