This is an Encyclopedia and more.
This book is what it calls an encyclopedia. It was not designed for any group beginner or expert. It is well-organized and packed with descriptive color pictures. This encyclopedia tells how when and where the glass was made and more importantly shows patterns to help you recognize what you are looking at. The "Marks" section is worth it.
My two favorite objects in the book (of which I am not sure I would want in my house) are:
Purple Pickle Paperweight:
"Of All the oddities I've come across in carnival glass, this is probably the oddball of all time."
Scottie
"Surely there isn't a director that hasn't seen these in the flea market in Scotties, poodles, deer, duckies, or rabbits. They are all covered powder jars, all marigolds, and made near the end of the carnival glass heyday. Still, the coloring is usually respectable, and they are cute little things."
I do not think they are so cute, but my wife has the "Dear" that was handed down by her mother.
Again, this book is worth just being aware of the diversity in Carnival Glass.
