Customer Reviews

An invaluable resource

As a collector of carnival glass, I'm always looking for as much information about my hobby as possible. One of the most frustrating things I encounter as a collector is that I often don't have enough information, or worse yet, wrong information. Dave Doty's book is an invaluable resource that clearly and concisely presents information on carnival glass - from the mundane to the extremely rare. Price lists are usually a nightmare for authors writing about collectibles, since most quoted prices are often a reflection of the purchaser's and seller's moods at the time of sale. Dave Doty has gracefully dealt with this sticky area by quoting actual auction and sale prices in a range format, and giving extra information and explanations for those items which brought a price outside of the range. This very well presented book is a definite Must-Have for every carnival glass collector!
