Review:

This new, revamped version of Collectible Glassware - Ninth Edition is just as enjoyable to use as the previous publications and a few small, but effective changes have increased the ease in which you can access well researched information. Gene Florence and his wife, Cathy, know their glass after more than 30 years in the business and their books reflect this knowledge.
