Product Description
The authors have gathered the rare, the unusual, and the expensive glass so very desirable to collectors and so very attractive to newcomers. For the first time, readers may view items that only rarely come out of private collections and almost never go on public auction. Collectors will marvel at the more than 450 full-color pieces, whether they are scarce due to availability, shape, or color. Organized alphabetically by pattern, the book features items in standard shapes as well as whimsey pieces. Edwards's & Carwile's latest book truly does feature the 'best of the best' in the carnival collecting world, and readers will enjoy perusing this coffee table book.

I read the prior reviews before buying this book. I have found it very helpful in buying carnival glass. Without it, I would have been somewhat lost. I have a strong desire to buy the D Doty book on the subject as well now.
