From the Publisher
This edition has all-new prices, plus 10-15% new material, including some new photos. Collectors love glass, and this is an excellent, thorough volume. Its coverage of both American and European glassmakers is important; it's so hard to find a price guide that covers both equally well.
--Randy Ladenheim-Gil, Editor, House of Collectibles --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book has little value to the average collector., March 26, 1999
By A Customer
It is, by no means, a comprehensive guide to the price of glassware, 20,000 price listings notwithstanding. It is poorly organized, with few illustrations. Some popular patterns by well-known manufacturers are missing entirely, while others have been paid scant attention at best. Individually, pattern listings are inconsistent, with very few pieces of some popular patterns represented while other patterns have multiple pages devoted to them. The index provided little help, listing patterns variously by name, type (such as Depression or Art Glass) or manufacturer. The pages on hallmark identification were helpful, as was the glossary of terms, and there is a section on well-known periodicals and collector's organizations. Probably a good book for Carnival Glass collectors (nearly 200 pages devoted to this type of glass); the rest would do better sticking to books by Florence or others.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the novice., July 18, 1998
By A Customer
Very difficult for a person who does not know about all the classifications of glassware to find what he/she is looking for. Not enough illustrations. The best pages were the trademarks of glassmakers. That does give somewhat of a headstart. Would not purchase it again. I am the novice who gets glass and doesn't know how to identify it.
