Great reference book for collectors,
By Glasswish "Glasswish" (Ft Worth, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Westmoreland Glass the Popular Years 1940-1985 (Identification & Value Guide) (Hardcover)
I had purchased a number of Westmoreland items and didn't really know what they were worth, this book, unlike a lot of others, has just about everything in it and I was able to find all 3 of the items that I had purchased. I was pleased to find that my garage sale buys were worth 50 and 60 times over the $1 I had paid for them!

Exciting addition to my collection,
This review is from: Westmoreland Glass the Popular Years 1940-1985 (Identification & Value Guide) (Hardcover)
I am a collector of milk glass and am a big fan of Westmoreland Glass. The majority of the Westmoreland I find was made during the period this book covers. The information contained in the book is very good, the pictures are beautiful and, of course, the price guide is extremely helpful.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Westmoreland Glass the Popular Years 1940-1985 (Identification & Value Guide) (Hardcover)
This is a good reference book for those who like depression glass and collect it. I have referred to it many times. The color pictures are excellent for learning about different colors for a particular item. I would definitely recommend this book.
