Summary: mccoy pottery by hanson
Review: My husband and I have been dealing and collecting mccoy for years. Mr hanson is very thorough in his descriptions and periods for which they were made. We love finding a piece of rare McCoy for one of our customers. It's Christmas in their eyes everyday. If you need a book to refer your customers to, bring out the Hanson's McCoy book. We do! When you open the book, it's like sitting down to a flyer of Christmas toys advertisments from the newspaper when you were a child. Just imagine if you could go into the store right now and say "Where is this piece located?" To me, as to all of our customers, the Hansons McCoy book is the "toy flyer" all year long. My husband is known all over the United States as the "McCoy Boy." He aquired his name through his customer base. Thanks to the Hanson's book we were able to aquire more pottery than ever. "You've got our THUMBS UP."

Summary: Weller Collector's Reference
Review: This book was very helpful to me - I just started collecting Weller pottery since the beginning of this year. Although this book couldn't possible have every piece of Weller pottery photographed or drawn it is still a very useful and appreciated guide for any Weller collector. I am very pleased with my copy and would recommend it to anyone considering starting to collect Weller pottery or interested in placing a "ballpark" value on their Weller collectibles. There are some beautiful Weller pieces out there available for the discerning collector - with this book you are an educated collector. Good luck and enjoy collecting some Weller pottery - maybe our paths will cross?

Summary: Excellent resource for the Weller collector
Review: This is the only book I know of that is dedicated solely to Weller pottery. It includes a very detailed history of Wellers conception and demise. A section on the prominent Weller artisans and all the known markings of the pottery is very helpful. The main reason I bought this book though is for the color photographs of the different Weller lines. They are beautiful and it makes identifying pieces much easier. Besides a copy for myself I also gave one to my Mother-in-law for her birthday. We both love it!
