3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, few mistakes., January 28, 2000

This review is from: Mysteries of The Moon & Star (Paperback)

My mother in law has gotten me hooked on the Moon and Star pattern. We have used this book for most of our collecting. Its great for most of the general pieces. We have found that some of the colors are incorrect, and pieces come in colors that they say they don't come in. However those are just a few mistakes and the amount of good this book has done us outweights the few mistakes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very helpful...., August 15, 2005

This review is from: Mysteries of the Moon and Star (Paperback)

Has lots of pictures, but not very helpful in identifying the maker of my bowl or even identifying the exact color---lists what pieces are available in which colors but uses 1 letter abbreviations for the colors and gives no key/legend to see what that color is, ie color B could be any number of blues that the glass came in.
