Collector's Encyclopedia of Milk Glass by Betty Newbound (1994, Hardcover, Revised)

My daughter is a novis collector of milk glass and other collector glass. I saw this book listed while browsing for some education material in that catagory. I bought it because I thought it would fit her interest in collector glass and help educate her in that field. I think that for the small price I paid for the book it was an excellent buy.

being an older book, it has alot of pictures of the fenton milk glass, which helps for identifying, if your a beginner collector.

This book provides a good overview of milk glass produced by various companies. If you are looking for an in-depth accounting of a particular glassmaker or design of milk glass, this encyclopedia may provide a step-stone to a more rigorous search of reference books. The encyclopedia contains many pictures, but limited narrative.

Wow, I was so happy when I got this book. It gave my prices on some of the wonderful MIlk Glass that I own. Also, on the future pieces I would like to buy. Definetely guide lines so I won't pay to much, or on the other hand if I am getting a great buy.
I have no regrets on buying the book. I do wish it had more pages though.
For Pink Milk Glass especially. That is what I am collecting now.
The pictures are very good. So many to look at.
And the pricing was so very helpful.
Don't know much else to say except that I have to find another book on Pink MIlk Glass. Also, Slag..........what the heck is that. Something new to learn for me.
I hope you wern't to bored with this long read.
