Summary: Another Fascinating Reference.....
Comment: In Collectors Encyclopedia of Depression Glass, Gene Florence gives us another indispensible guide, as well as a fascinating colorful tour of the incredibly beautiful glassware that used to adorn the tables and shelves of the earlier part of the 20th century known as the depression era. ............... As an enthusiastic collector of depression, and many other types of glass, I can look at this volume over and over, still finding something new to research. I was in a relatives house and noticed a serving platter that looked familiar not long ago, memorized the basic pattern, and found it very quickly in this book. It was Columbia by the prolific Federal Glass Company, who I have collected quite a bit from for myself. Mr. Florence gives you a genuine education in any part of the glass world you are interested in, anytime you sit down with one of his references. You can look in alphabetical order pattern by name, and then get the history of when it was produced, see the colors it came in, and of course, a price guide that lets you get an idea of what your pieces are worth. Naturally the prices are for mint condition items. This is good for the seller and the buyer as well. It is always fun when you find out you have a valuable piece, particularly if you paid very little. .................... Another important section is the reproductions that Mr. Florence includes. This is helpful in weeding out the new issues that mimic the past. No one wants to pay antique prices for something made overseas recently, and there are a load to watch out for. Here you can see them very clearly and they are also described in detail, telling you what to look for to identify the real from the repros. ................ If you collect, sell or just want to know more about depression glass, look no further for a complete, in-depth, fascinating, colorful reference that you will pull off the shelf over and over again. Just don't knock down any of YOUR valuable glass when you do!

Summary: How can someone know so much
Comment: This book is fantastic. I went from 0 to 65 in hours. I have purchased pieces for a quarter of their worth and have not be overcharged on others. The wealth of pictures is what makes this book heads above the rest. They are all in color and have a vast variety of items in each pattern. Also, they had a remarkable photographer. Glass being very hard to photograph well, each shot gives you the detail you need to understand what the piece looks like. A Great Find!
