(More customer reviews)I have several glass reference books, and all of them by the incomparable glass expert Gene Florence. He has not put out a reference yet, that is not worth buying. .............. As a long-time avid collector of many different forms of glass, this book is my perfect reference for the specialized area of collectible kitchen glassware. This reference goes by color, and then by items. It is easy to classify exactly what you are looking for, from reamers to rolling pins, you will find it. The pictures are a stunning visual array that will delight anyone who loves kitchen glass, or any kind of decorative glass. Years ago simple kitchen items were made in so many beautiful colors, and that is how I became interested in collecting this form of glass in addition to all the art glass, EAPG, milk glass, depression and handblown pieces in my vast collection. I have purchased books from the many Gene Florence editions available on those subjects too, and I can honestly say that you can't go wrong with any of his titles in whatever area of glass collecting interests you. Not only are the pictures wonderful and the text informative, but you can get an idea of values with the easy to follow detailed price guide that covers by color, and then pattern on various sets. Styles and objects of kitchenware are thoroughly covered by manufacturer too. If you are looking specifically for say Hazel Atlas, or Jeanette, Anchor Hocking, Fry and other popular manufacturers, they are easy to find listed. There are also rarities and reproductions to look out for in the closing. A great feature so that you don't pay for an antique that really isn't! ............. If you are a beginner, or an advanced collector you need this book. If you are in the business of selling collectible glass, here is your pricing guide to help you get the value of what the pieces are worth. Prices are for mint specimens of course, and that is stated. ................ As always, this Gene Florence edition is well worth a place in YOUR glass reference library.
