Collectors have depended on Gene Florence's books since 1972 for accurate information and values. This book includes every pattern featured in his "Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass, Collectible Glassware from the 40s, 50s, and 60s" and "Collector's Encyclopedia of Elegant Glassware", as well as many more--nearly 400 patterns in all. With every pattern, Florence provides the names, the company which made the glass, dates of production, colors available, and photos.
