Reader Reviews
I agree with the other review in that this book is definitely set up in a way that I found illogical...it mixes makers and types of glass from page to page, and while the approach is alphabetical, it really doesn't make any kind of sense. However, I feel, at a bare minimum, that the book is a very nice color picture book of many, many very nice pieces of glass. I purchased from an Ebay seller, and for the price I paid I am more than completely pleased with it.
