This full-color reference book details all of the carnival glass patterns, shapes, and colors that were made by Imperial between 1909 and 1930. Original wholesale catalogs from the period also are featured. Detailed information on the reproduction trademarks and how to tell the old from the new will prove valuable to the collector. AUTHORBIO: Carl Burns has spent well over half his life collecting, buying, and selling carnival glass. He is a member of the Heart of America Carnival Glass Association, the Lincoln-Land Carnival Glass Club, the San Diego Carnival Glass Club, and the National Imperial Glass Collectors' Society. He also collects Imperial ruby slag and jade slag glass. He is a full-time antiques dealer, and his business, Minnah's Antiques, is well known throughout the country. REVIEW: This book is one of the first to be written on the subject, and is written by a noted carnival glass author and collector. A history of Imperial begins the book, then patterns and photos appear alphabetically. It is a great resource for carnival glass collectors.

Great Imperial carnival glass reference!,
By Eugene Williams "Gene" (Desert Hot Springs, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imperial Carnival Glass Identification and Value Guide (Paperback)
Mr. Burns has produced a well organized and very useful reference book. He has done an excellent job of providing identification information as well as historical data. The author does a good job of organizing the history and production of the Imperial Glass Company through its existence from 1901 to 1985. The chapters on Imperial Trademarks are particullarly helpful This book is highly recomended to collectors of Imperial Glass and students of American glass making history in general. The book includes a helpful price list.Mr. Burns has also authored another great book titled, "Dugan & Diamond Carnival Glass 1909 -1931."

Imperial's Carnival Glass,
By Lisa James (Jacksonville, FL USA - Proud to be an American!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imperial Carnival Glass Identification and Value Guide (Paperback)
I have this book, & have had it since it was released. The photography is wonderful, it's easy to read & understand. TONS of great info. I just wish there was a new release of a price guide to go with it! It's like a Bible for all serious Imperial collectors. It does need an updated version since more pieces have come to light in other colors/variations in the 8 yrs since it was written, but it's still a book I wouldn't trade.
