3.0 out of 5 stars Know what you're buying!!, October 25, 1999

This review is from: The Standard Carnival Glass Price Guide (Standard Encyclopedia 0f Carnival Glass, 6th ed.(Paper)) (Paperback)

This book may be wonderful for the person that buys it intentionally. But if you're a beginner like me, you probably don't need a "price guide" but rather need the encyclopedia that Edwards has to match this book. At the time I ordered it, I didn't see the encyclopedia and didn't know the difference. If you want a book to identify pieces and patterns, get the encyclopedia. The price guide is just that, a price guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, December 1, 2001

This review is from: The Standard Carnival Glass Price Guide (Standard Encyclopedia of Carnival Glass Price Guide, 12th ed) (Paperback)

I loved this book. It is the best book I have found to use in identifying carnival glass. The pictures are crystal clear, and the number of items included is astonishing. However, the greatest weakness is that the book does not list the year(s) that any of the items were made. That is a huge weakness. You may find out who the manufacturer is and the name of the item, but not knowing the date leaves a huge gap in information.
