1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, May 2, 2006

By	David S. Campbell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Looks like they took the larger Warman's (2004)(which I have and like a little) and republished much of the same info in a smaller version. I was expecting a significant addition of material. If you need Roseville books: Bassett's Introducing (2001), Bassett's Understanding (2002), Bassett's Prices (2005), Jack and Nancy Bomm - Roseville in all its Splendor (2004). Bassett's prices are close to reality. The Warman's (2004) book has some prices that are low and some that are right on. Many of Huxford's (2001) prices seem to be way too high. If you get the 3 Bassett books and the Bomm book, you have a good core set to use.

UPDATE: The New MOLLRING book, "Roseville Pottery" 11th Ed., copyright 2006, is really good for collectors. Cons: Black and White Pictures. Pros: Updated Prices, concise reference, very comprehensive. A must have book for Roseville collectors. Dave.
