4.0 out of 5 stars Fire-King's Greatest, June 7, 2000
By A Customer
Well Gene Florence has done it again. This is a fabulous book. The pictures are great and there are lots of items on each page with their current value. Since there are so many pieces readily available, this collection is obtainable more and more by new collectors. This book would be a great asset to those collectors and dealer also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Attention Early American Prescut collectors!, February 17, 2001
By Mark J. Desmond (Kensington, Connecticut.) - See all my reviews
Collectors and dealers of EAPC will find the updated and expanded section on Anchor Hocking Early American Prescut in this edition to be the best infomation source currently available on the subject. The photographs are very color accurate and the pricing is up to date with recent on-line auctions. I have two copies of this book, one is next to my computer and the other one is out in the "glassmobile". It is of the same fine quality that we have come to expect from the author Gene Florence.
