REVIEW: Bobbie Aug and Gerald Roy's Antique Quilts and Textiles provides a price guide to functional cloths, from pieced quilts and comforters to clothing. Plenty of color plates provide clear pictures of cloth 'comforts' while descriptions begin with an introduction in each chapter and move to histories of each cloth style and type. -Midwest Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have for a beginner due to volume of color photos,
By A Customer
This review is from: Standard Encyclopedia of Carnival Glass (Hardcover)
For a first time purchase of a reference book on Carnival Glass, this book is a must, due to the volume of color photos. (It loses one star due to a few out of focus color photos.) Even the black and white photos are a valuable aid to identifying pieces. Photos, photos, photos!

This review is from: Standard Encyclopedia of Carnival Glass, 7th Edition (Hardcover)
Bill Edwards and Mike Carwile's Standard Encyclopedia Of Carnival Glass, 7th Edition is packed with small but clear color photo examples of glass collector's pieces, with paragraphs of discussion lending insights on makers and products. Insights on the influences of value - such as better color for glass pieces - are present throughout.

An Excellent Reference On Carnival Glass,
By A Customer
This review is from: Standard Encyclopedia of Carnival Glass, 7th Edition (Hardcover)
This Edwards & Carwile Encyclopedia is an excellent reference book for the "Carnival Glass" enthusiast. It has clear color photos, large print, is alphabetically listed, has informative descriptions, and a detailed price list. I never go shopping for carnival glass without taking this book; it's a necessary shopping guide. I always find the piece shown, described, and priced in this book. SM
