This is the best field guide I've ever seen,

This review is from: Warman's Depression Glass Field Guide: Values and Identification (Warman's Field Guides Depression Glass: Values &I Identification) (Paperback)
I love this book and recommend it to any collector of depression glass, especially if you are anovice. The thumbnail guides are easy to use and great for identifying just about any pattern. This has become my bible for identifying and valuing auction buys and yard sale finds. I hope Warmans considers another volume to acccomodate some of the patterns not covered in detail in this book.

I use it all the time!!!,
By Paula (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Warman's Depression Glass Field Guide (Paperback)
I purchased this book about 3 months ago and have almost worn the cover off of it already. I like the thumbnails in the beginning of the book that help you quickly identify the pattern. Although the photos are in black and white, I feel that I am able to identify the patterns quite easily. It is also small enough to fit into my purse or coat pocket when I go to auctions. I think I am getting a much better grasp of various patterns by using this book. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in a take-along book. I would also recommend having accesss to Warman's regular edition of Depression Glass for further reference.

Don't Rely on These Values,
By Bethany A. "badgrl352000" (Los Angeles, CA via WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Warman's Depression Glass Field Guide: Values and Identification (Warman's Field Guides Depression Glass: Values &I Identification) (Paperback)
This book is a fantastic take-along for going to antique stores and garage sales and the like. It contains several helpful sections to help you identify patterns including a catagorized section of borders (birds, floral, art deco, etc.) and a shape guide which is primarily useful when looking for plates and serving pieces. All of the photos of actual pieces are in color. This book also contains several patterns that Gene Florence's Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass does not.One thing about this book that needs to be mentioned is the large discrepency in value for many pieces between the Warman's guide and Florence's guide. I don't know if this is because this edition is already 3 years old or what. You may feel like you are getting an incredible deal when you are actually not. This book also doesn't contain much information on each pattern except for the basics and it doesn't have much good information on reproductions. This is a great field guide for glass, but it's good to have a back-up, more recent guide for values.
