Wow! The leading Roseville Price Guide has blasted into the new millennium. The glossary of shape number to Roseville Pattern is super along with the never published color plates to Sunflower and Rosecraft Vintage. This is a wonderful book that is much more than your standard price guide.

I could not believe how detailed this price guide is.It was well illastrated.Mr. Jenkins's price guide is the best on Roseville that is in the market.It was written in a way that is easy to follow.The collection on sunflower is the only photogragh of a complete set known in existance.AAAAA +++++

I would call this "book" more of a pamphlet. Author focuses too much on Roseville that I would call more rare. There was no identification for what I might call the more common patterns. This book probably would be of help to the collector who is targeting the higher end items. From a physical standpoint, one of the pages is not even bound into the pamphlet.

This is the third year in a row that I have purchased Mr. Jenkins' price guide and I can say without hesitation that is head and shoulders above anything else available on the market. I have purchased and compared all the available guides on Roseville in the past and this is the only one worth consideration. Not only do you get the most accurate information on up to date pricing, he has included a very handy reference guide to shape #'s to aid in identification. And, perhaps most importantly of all, you receive expert information on the various lines of Roseville that are considered most collectible. There is a trend chart showing the percentage increase year-by-year for the last six years, thereby offering a look at the overall reported investment value of Roveville pottery. The guide also contains first-rate pictures of many of the lines and has text that is not only well written, it has perhaps that rarest-of-all quailties - it is information that is both usable and invaluable. After purchasing and looking at price guides for both Roseville and many kinds of pottery and other collectibles, I would only hope that others in the field would take a cue from true quality and follow the example set here.
