3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, but not useful, January 22, 2008

By	packratrev "dayspring-collectibles" (Ackley, IA United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Guide for Lalique, November 1, 2009

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.
