Antique Trader American & European Decorative and Art Glass Price Guide (Antique Trader's American & European Decorative & Art Glass Price Guide, 2nd ed)

Summary: Excellent reference book for the price!
Review: I probably have spent over $6,000 on glass reference books, and this little gem get's used as much as any of them. For the $14 [...]charged it's a great investment, I throw it in my car and have a great little reference when I'm out and about that covers a very broad variety of glass. There are a few miss-atributions, but overall it's a good price guide, well worth the small price!
