book

I have used this book a lot. it would be better if they would put like heads together.

Right to the "Nitty-Gritty"!

If you are expecting a "Collector's Course " on head vases to wade through , forget it. This is right to the point! Page after page of clear color photos ( with marks and values ) and a chapter on"Related Collectibles" that "hooked" this new collector for good!
