3.0 out of 5 stars
Good beginner book, use to ID patterns,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pocket Guide to Pink Depression Era Glass Edition (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
Does have lots of patterns, If you have a collection of pink you want to identify this is a good cheap book. The pictures are on colored backgrounds, distorting the colors. The glass is much prettier than it looks. Prices are OK, divide by 2 and that is what you should pay outside of a specialty/city dealer (with no chips, no obvious wear). Boy, some people going to hate that last sentence.

This is one of the few books on pink glass and has a wealth of information. I would recommend it to any one that wants to know more about pink glass.
