CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
collector of art glass - 
very beautiful and informative reference book on American Art Glass . Information contains estimated value. a great reference for serious collectors. I have enjoyed having this reference. PFH
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Good Glass information -
This book is a good "starter" book for anyone interested in Art Glass. It gives you a great starting point for learning about Art Glass.
I guess I'm a little disappointed. -
Definitely some great pieces of glass in this book. However, I found the printing of the images rather dark and sometimes lacking clarity....the pictures are a little fuzzy or out of focus on some pages. Some pages were much better than others for photo detail. In addition, there was a large section devoted to pictures of stained glass catalogs and glass factory postcards that I didn't find particularly useful...I guess I'm a little disappointed in the book overall, despite it still being a good reference for American art glass.
Review of American Art Glass -
This is an excellent piece of work. It will be of much interest to any serious collector of American glass. The photographs are very good, the historical perspective is to be commended, and the pricing of pieces seems to be well researched. Of course, the focus is on high end items and categories of glass so that it is not a stand alone reference for all "art glass" produced in the United States. Nor should it be. It is a fine book to be part of a collector's resources on the subject.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
A 'must' for any serious collector. -
The second updated edition of Collector's Encyclopedia of American Art Glass is a winner: it packs in full pages of color photos on each and every page, pairs these with written descriptions, and includes the latest updated values. Pieces come from a range of collections, so they aren't limited by collection or ownership, and glass examples were chosen with readers' interests in mind. From glassmaking tools and their history to logos and design insights, this is an outstanding survey and a 'must' for any serious collector.
