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.

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.

Mysteries of The Moon and Star is a colourful and concise reference for collectors of this pattern of EAPG. George and Linda Breeze include valuable historical information as well as close up pictures and price guide for this facinating glass pattern.A must have for any level of collector and hobbyist.

the above really says it all ... a great book for the beginner ... honest & well thought out ... don't treasure hunt without it !

As a reference for glassware identification I would rate it as only "fair". As a reference to assess value, I would rate it as poor - it is very difficult to use. The values of the items would be better listed on the pages with the photos of the items instead of having to find the items and then keep flipping to the back of the book. If you collect depression glassware and are familiar with Gene Florence's references, you will be disappointed with this author's. I would not recommend it. Also, the seller shipped this soft bound book in an envelope instead of firm packing; it was bent in shipping and I had to give it as a Christmas gift with a damaged cover.

Wonderful photos and information.

Provided the necessary details for me to identify and approximate the value of our collection passed down to us from hubby's mother.

Is also helpful when I'm considering new additions!
