5.0 out of 5 stars Great Marble Book!, August 2, 2000
This review is from: Marbles: Identification and Price Guide (Paperback)
Easier to use than some of the other marble "standards." It is well organized and the values, based on the condition of the marble, are with the marbles. Some of the other books have you constantly flipping from back to front to find a value. The different types of antique handmade marbles are logically grouped for the most part and the machine made marbles are divided by manufacturer.There is even a section with examples from contemporary marble artists. My one complaint would be that there should be an index to make finding of the great many types of machine made marbles easier. Until something better comes along, I carry this with me to auctions, flea markets, antique shows or anywhere else I think there might be an opportunity to buy, sell or trade marbles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not much on clay marbles, November 23, 2008
I got this book for my husband who had just bought seveal clay marbles. Although the book is very encompassing on differnt marbles and the photos are of top quality, my husband was disappointed in that there was very little on clay marbles but he would recomment it for an all-around book on marbles.
