This book is set up to accomodate the beginning collector as well as the experienced. Found among its 64 pages are an introduction to blue and white pottery, guidlines for care and repair, a list of dealers, an index, a glossery, and suggested reading lists. Most of all the great color pictures and pricing guidelines make for interesting reading. Heavier cover and glossy pages make it a permanent part of a research library.

Lots of information and pictures, written in a breezy, informative, energetic style. I learned a minimum of one new thing on every page. I only wish there were more pages. The pictures are good but too small, as is the caption print. I don't understand why the English produce their outstanding guides to antiques in such small formats. Full of tips on how to spot subtle defects and repairs, and not-so-obvious features that can enhance or detract from value. The American edition has price information in US dollars. Get this book and read it and it will add to your enjoyment of your collection or get you started on one!

This is a beautiful book! I am a big collector of Blue & White, and this book is very informative. I also use it as a coffee table book. I would highly recommed this to any blue & white lover.
