This review is from: Mauzy's Kitchen Glass (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)

After absolutely loving Mauzy's Depression Glass book this one was such a huge disappointment. The pictures are huge, many 1/2 a page, which seems was done to make the book appear more meaty.

Many of the green pieces are labeled as "unknown manfacturers", almost comical is a row of tumblers and sherbets (another row of vases) listed as "various manufacturers". That section of the book seems like they went to someone's house and just pictured each piece.

The coverage of salt and pepper shakers is quite good, almost as if that is what the book really was before adding "fluff" items. Very little information (such as dates) is given, though.

With the little information given, I just don't trust the prices as being any guideline whatsoever. Disappointed.

Update: I found the prices listed are 5 to 10 times realistic pricing, even for the fanciest shops. Even more disappointed now, it has cost me money.
