5.0 out of 5 stars Kovels Depression Glass & Dinnerware Price List - 6th Editio, May 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Kovels' Depression Glass & Dinnerware Price List, 6th Edition (Paperback)

Super pictures to help identify types of glass, with good history of each. Exciting to see the actual worth of items. Perfect size book (not bulky) to take with you when exploring the antique stores. I highly recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, not recommended especially the beginner, March 23, 2001

Kathy Ann Fahey (Long Island NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kovels' Depression Glass & Dinnerware Price List, 6th Edition (Paperback)

This was the first reference book I purchased when I began collecting depression glass. Although there are color photos, few patterns are represented. The patterns of manufacturers are line listed at the end of the depression glass section but quite a few of the patterns are not represented in the detail (the most important) section of the book. Representation of the patterns detailed are in a very poor quality black and white, making it difficult to match a piece of glassware with the pattern. Although Kovel seems to be a well respected authority in a number of collectible arenas, I saw no sign of expertise in this book. I would not recommend this book to anyone especially beginners.

This review is from: Kovels' Depression Glass & Dinnerware Price List, 7th Edition (Kovel's Depression Glass and Dinnerware Price List) (Paperback)

This book was well worth buying! Had the patterns I was interested, plus more, I've even started new collections from patterns I saw in this book. Great pictures, too. The Kovels did it again!
