Over 4,000 values have been updated in the sixteenth edition of Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More, representing the ever-changing market. Many of the photographs have been replaced to add new finds and showcase other available items. The more than 200 color photographs and the listings of the patterns make identification simple. Once again, all pieces in photographs are identified and cross-referenced with their listings--the Florences' photo legends have become quite a hit with collectors. There is even a section on re-issues and fakes to educate collectors on how to spot an authentic piece of Depression glass. This book is the perfect companion to the Florences' Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass, now in its eighteenth edition. 2009 values.

Review
I recently started collecting depression glass. At the time, I realized how much I didn't know! This book has been my constant companion. The material is clearly presented. The photography is fantastic. The price guide along with the description of each piece of EVERY collection is invaluable. I have become a better educated consumer and glass collector since I keep this within reach. Highly recommend!! -G. Holden

Perfect for a flea-market tote,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More Sixteenth Edition (Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More: 1920s-1960s: Identification & Values) (Paperback)
The authors have written extensively about Depression glass collecting and some of the hardcovers are quite specific and weighty. Collectors and libraries seeking more affordable, toteable and general values and identification guides will find the 16th updated edition of Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More 1920s-1960s an excellent pick. It pairs an organization by maker with color photos of typical glassware lines, and the latest prices arranged by glassware color. Perfect for a flea-market tote.

Gene Does it Again,
By WILLOWFAIR "willowfair auctions" (LANCASTER, NEW YORK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More Sixteenth Edition (Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More: 1920s-1960s: Identification & Values) (Paperback)
This book has enough pictures that you would easily be able to locate pattern , although there is no full history as in the bigger book vs. the pocket guide , this is an excellent reference for starters, the back of the book has 12 pages of reproductions and how to tell them apart , the new photo legends helps as in you no longer have to guess is that the waste bowl or the cereal bowl , i would highly recommend this book small enough for travel and to kep near the computer so you can make an informed decision on what piece to buy

Pocket Guide to Depression Glass 7 More,
By Cherryl Walker "Cherryl" (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More Sixteenth Edition (Pocket Guide to Depression Glass & More: 1920s-1960s: Identification & Values) (Paperback)
When I go antiquing, I like to have the latest edition of this book with me. The values are good guides as to what to expect a piece to cost, but it is the pictures that are invaluable in identifying individual items. The pictures and the text are all very clear and sharp.
