We have several of Mr.Florence's books, and in each case, the photos are what make it. He and his team go to great lengths to assemble and light the glass we are looking at and looking for. He has helped us both match and bypass glass we were not sure of. We'll buy again...

Excellent photography as well as array of displayed items. Unlike many other reference books, the reader can easily see the pattern on the glass bowl. The etched, cut, pattern does not blend with the background. I hope the author compiles a similar book on other stemware; i.e. water goblets, wines, etc. I love my book and would like a similar reference book on other styles of stems.

Some of the pictures have a light background, making the etchings difficult/impossible to make out. Since the book is ordered by color, the same pattern appears several times. About 10% of the entries are labeled as "Unidentified". Only information is Company, Line, Pattern, Color pictured, height, and price. Would be nice to have (when available) the range of years produced, colors produced, etc. Was able to identify some of my pieces, though. A bargain book buy only.
