Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Over 4,000 shot glasses are listed and described in this comprehensive guide consolidating Pickvet's previous two shot glass books into one. This third book in a series still employs the unique catalog number system and provides a quick-reference guide for shot collectors of any degree. Selected shot glasses from the first two books, plus an additional 1,000 new finds are illustrated in full. Large, detailed line drawings show over 1,400 shot glasses arranged alphabetically by catalog number. Breif captions below each shot glass aid searching at-a-glance, while the main description and pricing guide gives information on type of ware, geographical origin, date of manufacture, and good and mint values for each shot glass. Pickvet educates the reader on learning how to determine value in this user-friendly, collector-friendly guide. Up-to-date values and new information are included.

You know this "Blog" sounds more like a bog or boggy log or blah or maybe just BS!  Anyway, Hi, I'm Mark, not big into fancy titles or people who like to stuff their names with lots of letters, Mark is fine.

I've written a lot of books on collectible glass, the biggy is the "Official Price Guide To Glassware" soon to be released in its 4th edition.  As a Master's Thesis back in the late 1980's, I wrote a collectible book on shot glasses.  I needed to do something, had a big collection, & nobody else bothered to write one, so I gave it a "shot" (pardon the pun).  It wasn't all that serious, but from there, it led to a few more editions, some more glass books, and on and on and on.  

If you do have an interesting piece of glass, send me a photo.  I can always give you an opinion on it.  The hardest thing for me to do is to let someone know that they have a $35 piece of glass when they think it's worth hundreds.  I've done a good deal of appraisals in the past & a lot of people send me stuff they pick up at garage/yard sales, auctions, rummages, estates, etc.  The majority of glass in this world falls in the $10 to $50 range - even colorful studio stuff, unmarked, unidenti
