Heisey Glass 1896-1957 is indeed a thing of beauty suitable for display in your home as well as a wonderful reference book. I found this book to be very easy to understand. I am a novice Heisey collector and was able to learn a lot from the pictures and descriptions in the book. The color pictures are very well presented. The black and white photos, catalog pages and other renderings are of good quality and easy to interpret. One thing I particularly like is that there are several ways to cross-reference the glass. The book covers Heisey Glass by decade so you can look up the period of time and see what was made during that period. Each pattern is listed by name, the time period, colors, comments and photos, catalog pages or line drawings and a price guide. There is also an alphabetical index.

I thought this book was excellent in its content and presentation. It exceeded my expectations based on other books I have read by Tom and Neila Bredehoft. Well done! I will be looking for more books like this in the future.

Well constructed and very well thought out. This is a beautiful book in every aspect. The detail is complete with super descriptions, pricing and history right down to the patents. The photography in black and white as well as color is extremely professional, clear and consise. The diagrams are also detailed and reliable. The index is as complete for a super reference guide.

Novice, Collector or Glass Afficiando will be extremely pleased with this beautiful guide of history, education and reference to the world of Heisey Glass. It's Complete!!

Fair treatment of history of Heisey Glass, a very basic collector book. There were a few actual errors in the index that made it hard to research particular pattern.

Although the written information in this book is pretty informative, especially about the company and it's history, I was disappointed that all the pictures in the book are in black & white and it is difficult to find specific pieces (owned) to see what they may be worth or what particular pattern they are. There is no definative catalog of glassware as I have found in various other books about depression glass and Jadite products. This book will probably stay on my bookshelf.

Difficult book to read, but the best of all the books I've found on Heisey glass. There is so much to learn about the beautiful glass.

The book was in the condition I expected and was delivered promptly. The system worked well. The content of the book is also what I expected. A good deal all in all.

way to much money and was not very helpful to the beginner, like me, in collecting Heisey glass- confusing

Very useful resource- illustration and descriptions are clear and helpful.

Filled with information about manufacturers and designs. I had no prior knowledge about this book before I purchased it . I was very pleased with its resource value.

This is an excellent reference book for the Heisey glass collector. It is filled with helpful information!
