Summary: Excellent photos, but ...
Comment: While this book offers excellent photos of many McCoy lines, I find that the stated values of the pottery is optimistic ( they seem to be desired values of McCoy collectors more than actual market values). I also don't care for the order in which the pottery is presented. I would rather see all the vases, all the planters, all the cookie jars, etc.. presented together rather than in chronological order. It is much easier to find a piece with an unknown date of production that way.
All in all a good book for those who want to get a taste for McCoy, but not an excellent reference book.

Summary: McCoy Pottery Volume One Collecter's Reference & Value Guide
Comment: This body of work is a richly detailed piece of reference that has become my source of insight and excitement ever since the moment of purchace. The authors have layed out the Mccoy lines in a chronological fashion, listing also their identifying namesake. These categories are then subdivided into year produced, description, size, mark, available glazes and value. Lines produced by the McCoy are also given a smart descriprion, so that we as collectors gain a little insight as to the backround behind different lines. The book also offers a full history on marks and labels, and will also describe differing values related to pieces with reference to other oddities. Finally we are given a sincere history of Nelson Mccoy Pottery, which is a true asset to the begining collecter. This book is a must have. I find myself consulting it before and after every purchase I make. I have always purchased pottery because it effects my on an aesthetic level. Yesterday I purchased a $10 McCoy jardiniere. My $10 investment turned into $75! because I read the book.

Summary: To the point, full of wonderful photos w/ most recent prices
Comment: I really like this book. I recently added a few new pieces of McCoy pottery to my collection. This book has great photos and concise information. It is full of a variety of items that I did not know McCoy produced, but now I do know. I was able to accurately price some items that I have on the market and I was able to review items that I have seen for sale. I was hoping for a book with photos and prices only and that is what I got. There is very little time waisted in this book. The photos are well produced and labeled. Great for those of you who are looking for collectibles and wondering about the justification of their price. I highly recommend this book.
