5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for the serious collector,
By Carol Hazlett (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homer Laughlin: A Giant Among Dishes, 1873-1939 (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
This book is indispensable for indentifying the older pieces of Homer Laughlin. While not a price guide per se it does give the reader an idea of the value of older pottery shapes.
