I bought this book to help me price things for online purchases and estate sales. It's a pretty book. The pictures are fantastic. The organization is also good. Items are listed alphabetically by category, such as ash trays, bowls,figurines, vases. Within each category items are listed alphabetically by pattern name. This makes it pretty easy to find items. Prices are under each picture, as well as which company signature is used, which is convenient and useful for authentication. Some pictures show several items and occassionally it isn't clear whether the price is per item or for the entire photo. Unfortunately, the book just doesn't cover enough items to be useful. Most of what I try to look up is not in the book. It's a well organized book that needs to be four times bigger! So if you want a nice paperback coffee table book, this is it. If you're looking for one to help you with purchases, find something else more comprehensive.

This guide is essential to anyone who is new to collecting Lalique glass. Helps you determine authenticity and what is new and old production as well as reasonable price. Good to have when bidding on e-bay. Renee

I have the old catalog with the price list from the early 20th century. But this book is a gold standard Lalique guide. As everyone knows in the field, the references number and name are important in selling these pieces. But you need to know what you have before you sell or buy it. I like to know the complete infromation about a piece and this gives it to me. In buildinga a good references library add this bood to your shelf.

This book was really out of date and not as described by the seller as to its contents, which are meager. But what vexed me even more was the method of delivery. The seller uses FedEx to send it to the local USPS, which then delivers it to the purchaser-what a dumb way to save a few pennies. The seller does not offer any other delivery option. Thus the book arrived long after I needed it. The seller's customer service was abysmal. There was no invoice in the book, so returning it will not be easy.
