Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass by Cathy Florence, Gene Florence (2005, Hardcover)

Gene & Cathy Florence have done it again! This reference is filled with great professional color photos, so great that you can actually see the detail of patterns. Glass is very difficult to photograph which is all the more reason to be impressed. They have included a wealth of information about each pattern, the glass producers of that time, and even about reproductions since. Up to date price listings reflect the current market values as well as point out the regional availability of certain pieces.
This is THE BOOK to own if you only want to buy 1 or 2 books on the subject. I have found this invalueable in my Ebay & garage/estate sale shopping. Collector's Encyclopedia will be a great tool for creating your Ebay listings to include detailed story line information along with correct values & comparative pricing. I hate to see listings with over valued prices either because they're going by an old price guide, or they have no idea of true market value. Many pieces of depression glass have gone down in value over the past few years, while certain pieces have sky rocketed. You really need to keep updated in order to make wise & informed purchase descisions.
Save money & make money! Buy this book! JoAn
