5.0 out of 5 stars The one reference that I keep coming back to! Irreplaceable, October 31, 1999

This review is from: Warman's Depression Glass: A Value & Identification Guide (Serial) (Paperback)

Ellen Schroy has produced a depression glass reference that is easy to use, concise and very accurate. The graphic representations of the various glass patterns make identification of closely associated patterns very easy. Unlike similar books that have nice pictures that are impossible to determine a pattern from (Florence is a classic example), the approach taken by Ms. Schroy is one that is quite usable. I higly recommend it and use it almost daily. I only wish it were updated to current prices.
