This Book Is Too-Cheap for the Money You Save

The authors are fitting and devoted source whose familiarity and love about McCoy Pottery shine through. Every collector of McCoy Pottery should and MUST have this book. This book is aimed at all levels of collectors. It has the wealth of information needed to help beginners make sense of things that may initially seem confusing. With its color photographs, lists prices, and careful organization this book will be of use to collectors and buyers in need of a general pricing guide. In light of the fact that there are so few books on McCoy Pottery I am grateful to the authors for their effort and dedication. Thank you!

MCCOY LOVERS HAVE ALL THE LUCK

With the third collaboration of HNH, McCoy Collectors have all the luck when it comes to having the very rarest and finest examples of McCoy Pottery at their fingertips. This book provides a generous number of pages on the subject of Floraline, an often overlooked segment of the McCoy Pottery line produced for the floral industry.HNH have singled out the best of the best when it comes to the rare and non-production lines. The most helpful section in Volume III can be found in the back of the book. Here HNH have cataloged the entire McCoy line that they have covered in each volume. They attribute the era the piece was produced as well as the volume and page number that each piece can be found on.I can't say it enough, McCoy Lovers have all the luck!Please join me in celebrating the life of Margaret Hanson, co-author of McCoy Pottery Collector's Reference and Value Guide, Volume III. Margaret passed away at her home near Seattle, WA on November 1, 2001. Her indomitable spirit lives on in all of those who knew her. She is an wonderful example of what living with passion and beauty is all about. Her's was a life well-lived!

McCoy Pottery Volume One Collecter's Reference & Value Guide

This body of work is a richly detailed piece of reference that has become my source of insight and excitement ever since the moment of purchace. The authors have layed out the Mccoy lines in a chronological fashion, listing also their identifying namesake. These categories are then subdivided into year produced, description, size, mark, available glazes and value. Lines produced by the McCoy are also given a smart descriprion, so that we as collectors gain a little insight as to the backround behind different lines. The book also offers a full history on marks and labels, and will also describe differing values related to pieces with reference to other oddities. Finally we are given a sincere history of Nelson Mccoy Pottery, which is a true asset to the begining collecter. This book is a must have. I find myself consulting it before and after every purchase I make. I have always purchased pottery because it effects my on an aesthetic level. Yesterday I purchased a $10 McCoy jardiniere. My $10 investment turned into $75! because I read the book.

To the point, full of wonderful photos w/ most recent prices

I really like this book. I recently added a few new pieces of McCoy pottery to my collection. This book has great photos and concise information. It is full of a variety of items that I did not know McCoy produced, but now I do know. I was able to accurately price some items that I have on the market and I was able to review items that I have seen for sale. I was hoping for a book with photos and prices only and that is what I got. There is very little time waisted in this book. The photos are well produced and labeled. Great for those of you who are looking for collectibles and wondering about the justification of their price. I highly recommend this book.

A beauty of a book about a beautiful collectible

This updated reference and value guide is a spectacular hardback volume packed with over 300 pages of sharp full color pictures of McCoy pottery. It includes a history of McCoy pottery, and a price guide for each item listed. Very clear color photos of marks and labels are shown, making it easy to identify the McCoys. A very interesting feature is the over 400 full color pictures of McCoy cookie jars. A top quality book and a pleasure to own.
