Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass - Gene Florence - 2009 Review submitted by thebookerbay - Mrs. Kimberly J. Booker, G.G. - AJP What can a person say...other than..."ANOTHER WINNER"! Mr. Florence is a true professional and KNOWS what BOTH the collector and dealer are wanting and needing in a reference book. Good photos, informative text. If any of you would ever have the good fortune to meet this man, as I have -- you would buy EACH AND EVERY one of his books -- you would be SOLD on him for life!! He is intelligent, personable, and well 'schooled' in his fields of expertise. Purchasing a Gene Florence reference guide isn't 'just buying another book'; it's supporting a most highly regarded individual in the industry of Antiques, Fine Arts, and Collectibles. His books include information that SETS THE STANDARDS for both collectors and dealers alike. Another FINE addition to my library -- perhaps, soon to yours also.

Cathy and Gene Florence have been the authorities and the "go to" folks on depression glass, S&P's, and many other depression, collectible and even new items. This book is no exception. It is excellent in description, era explanation, number of items listed and the value quoted is always spot on. I have never used any other experts. They are absolutely the ones you want when you are selling OR buying. I love having the expertise of these two when I am researching an item I just purchased or when I am about to resell a piece. You just cannot go wrong with the books by these two excellent authorities.
Love the Author and the information that they provide on each glass glass set . Very through and informative.

I was thrilled to be able to still get this book. It is still a valuable resource to my library of reference books even if it is 2009's edition. I still haven't found a resource I like as well and I'm still totally bummed they retired. I wish them well, but who can/will replace them?
