This review is from: Rare Imperial Glass Patterns (Paperback)

I returned this book as it was not at all (in my view) what the title suggested. There are few rarities included in this book. There are zero pages related to the old carnival glass patterns done by Imperial, and there are only 2 pages (10 pictures) related to Imperial Free Hand glass. A huge disappointment.
