I believe this book would be easier to use and more accessible to a reader if it had an index. It does have some good points, but it is not the definitive work on American cut glass.

Bill and Louise Boggess provide the revised 5th edition of Identifying American Brilliant Cut Glass, updating prices and adding even more photos to this glass history and reference. Take it to auctions and antique shops, or along to garage sales, but also read it for leisure: tips include how to analyze a pattern and match it to a catalog or book picture. Invaluable reference information.

This is a must-have book for ABP cut glass collectors. This revision corrects many errors, mis-identifications from the earlier versions. It has exactly the same photos as the previous versions but the print IDs and captions seem to incorporate most of the corrections listed earlier by ACGA and glass researchers in other publications.

Being an Avid Dorflinger Cut glass collector..This book has helped me more than once when at a show or estate sale. Recommend highly...Only have one small problem...Lack of index makes it tougher to find patterns...but all in all..great book

Book was well written. price was reasonable. It is a good book for beginning collectors and general information on Brilliant Cut Glass.

Seems to be a thorough volume identifying the patterns and uses for cut glass including names of manufacturers and dates.

The book is in great shape and exactly what I was looking for to help e identify different items of cut glass in my store.

Thank you
