A New Comprehensive Volume on American Pottery & Porcelain,
This review is from: Warman's American Pottery & Porcelain (Warman's American Pottery and Porcelain) (Paperback)
Second edition of the popular volume updated for the year 2000. There are 224 pages with more than 200 black and white photos and a 16-page color section. This encyclopedia describes and prices almost 12,000 items produced by 150 American potteries. Introductory text covers Derivation of Prices, Role of Condition, State of the Market, America's Ceramics Industry, and handy abbreviations used throughout the work. There's also an appendix with auction houses, museums, glossary and a useful index, that facilitates finding items. Topics range from Advertising and Calendar Plates, Children's Ware, Dresden Pottery, to Warwick China, Wheatley Pottery, and Yellowware. Plenty of text is included for each category. A useful book that collectors will refer to often.

Not very good,
By
This review is from: Warman's American Pottery & Porcelain (Warman's American Pottery and Porcelain) (Paperback)
If you love to read on histories, then this book is perfect for you, but it's not good for anyone who needs a quick reference guide or who needs pictures. This book will give you one or two examples of an entire company, and the pictures are in black and white for the most part.
However it will give you histories of companies and a mark or two. if your new to this, i don't recommend this book at all. Instead go with Warman's Field Guide instead.
